Curtis Johnson Poet Couplet

Missing a Gracious Poet

Heaven gained a saint.
Earth now mourns.

A family grieves.
Someone is missing.

I feel the void and
The absence of

A puzzle piece,
A masterpiece,

A person of peace,
most kind and poised.

We never met,
Nor will we in this life.

I was touched by her spirit,
And it was warm.

I was delighted to have
Commented on some of her poetry.

I was honored that she
Commented on some of my work.

I felt a bond and a connection
In the way she spoke of 'family life'.

Brought together by the Poetry Soup family;
I am moved by her demise.

She was a pearl of great price.
A treasured mortal has left this planet.
