Kindliness

She sees the world in images of grace, reminding us that life's not what it seems, to see the beauty in another's face, and hope that she finds comfort in her dreams. that everything be curative and calm, devoid of sham contentedness and pain, that if the need arises take an arm and offer solace for another's gain. Her poetry shines brightly as a star and reaches far beyond the rough and mean, it touches those both nearby and afar with truth and fidelity rarely seen. I am proud to consider her a friend, a kindliness to treasure and to tend.

How apt is this? I just post a tribute poem last night and today, your tribute poem is the first I find. Your musical sonnet has a smooth flow. Very well done. I am curious, who is this virtuous poetess?

I thought that may have been the case since you didn't include any mention of her in the notes or title. Thank you for letting me know.
