Notes About The Poem

For Sara Ella

Oh, Sara Sara, oh,
     in your warm voice 
          I see
You as you are, I feel
          you free.
Your hands, they deal
     the cards, they hold
          the key,
     they paint my day,
     for they unfold to a
          degree
     the layers to my heart
          carefree?
In early morning
          coffee....

Oh, Sara Sara, oh,
My warm eye paints 
          you red:
A colour full of love.
We are no saints, but
          that said,
I hold you high above
     the crowd, a dragon.
          I bet
You smile. You love
     dragons as do I,
          you had
     one just for you.

Oh, Sara Sara, oh
          we fly
     above the crowd, you
          and I.
But now I let you glide,
          don't cry.
How masterfully you ride
          the sky.
How free you drift,
          How high.

Chris Green May 11, 2017 at 9:02 AM A beautiful tribute my friend. Sara is always so kind and encouraging when she pops in, I just wish we could see more writing from here. Maybe this will prompt her to put her pen to work again. Really nice Darren. Darren White May 11, 2017 at 9:08 AM She is, and she is my dear friend. 'twas time to write something for her :)

Lisa Ricci May 11, 2017 at 3:55 AM Good Morning Darren. Oh Sara will love this. Such expression and gusto. You say Rhyme and I see the rhyme I also see Free Verse that only the mighty Free Verse could execute and pull off. Have a wonderful day Darren. I hope this day finds Sara well also. PS: I love the attached image for it is stunning. Well done penguin Darren White May 11, 2017 at 4:03 AM Thanks Lisa :) And yes, you are right. There is however a distinct rhyme to it, sometimes internal, and a meter. But for me it doesn't matter. Free Verse is my favourite. I hope Sara will like this :)
