Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

On the 4th Day of Feb

For several years 
her incredible talent
I looked upon 
with awe
As gradually 
across the sea
we felt a bond 
both her and me
We felt a true affinity
As if somehow
we’d met before
Over the years
with laughter and tears
Good friends 
we had become
I knew from her writing
when she was in pain
I sent virtual hugs
again and again
Across many oceans
went love to and fro
Us two had not met
Us two had not spoken
and yet
when lately my soul felt so low
Nowhere was there solace
Nowhere for to go
But my soul sis she felt it
My soul sis did know
And today was the day
On the 4th day of Feb
We picked up our phones
We were speaking instead
Arriving together
in each other’s home
To hear her sweet voice
how it lifted me so
Like she was nearby 
A tear fell from my eye
As now we feel closer
than ever before
Who knows what comes next
~~~~
Who’s a knocking at my door?

Panagiota Romios February 6, 2021 at 6:40 PM Hi Ann~ This poem is just lovely, as are you. I got to speak to one poetess here. What a cool experience. Gla you connected! Hugs. Panagiota and ^*^ She's taking her afternoon siesta.)! Ann Gilmour February 7, 2021 at 1:48 PM Hi Panagiota and sweet Irene,I am so pleased you liked my poem, even though I had 76 views, you sweet friend are the only person to comment! But hey ho I wrote it because of the joy I felt after speaking to dearest Line, it was such a joy to hear her voice, as we have become great friends over the years, but had never actually spoken, and it was her that made me feel I should try to write again. Thank you for your loyalty and friendship too. With love and hugs Ann xx
