The beauty spilling from your pen

engraved the loneliness of night

and sketched the morning’s vivid light.

And all your passions placed therein

enticed each verse to tease my tongue

and sing the stanzas that I sung.

Evoked emotions, deep within,

from scribbled words to light my day,

reminded me you'd passed my way.

And if our souls ne’er meet again

I’m better for your gift of grace

that made my world a better place.

I’m blessed to say I knew you when

we'd found this place where words impart

to let our muses fill the heart.

The beauty spilling from your pen

and all your passions placed therein,

evoked emotions deep within,

and if our souls ne’er meet again,

I’m blessed to say, I knew you when.

 

In Memory of Connie 

      "Constanza"

Mark, your tribute to our dear friend Connie is so heartfelt and creatively expressed by your chosen words and how you pay honor to her using her invented poetry form. Exquisitely done! Your final five lines echo the sentiments of all who knew her. Sandra

"I’m better for your gift of grace, that made my world a better place." This thought is beautiful, tender and emotional, all at the same time. Connie has made a difference in the lives of so many. A lovely tribute to such a wonderful woman. Thank you for sharing, Mark. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy

Mark this is beautiful. Your love resonates through this dedication to Connie. Really an exceptional Poem from the writer's heart. Reading this, I could relate and feel the emotion and thoughtfulness of Connie as you wrote what many of us feel. Your words are touching and they keep the candle burning, lighting, and seeing Connie's legacy continue on. So many have written of her keeping her in our thoughts, this is an addition to the Heartfelt Poetry that is keeping the candle burning in remembrance of our beloved Poetess. God bless you Mark for your effort in doing so. This one is a Fav for me...
