For My Friend…Across the Internet
 
I always know your words will be here
Yet each time, their new blend
Their fresh, poetic gentleness
Cradles my heart in warmth
And caresses my soul with peacefulness
A new tear flows down my cheek,
Across my lips, spilling upon you
Another lovingly salty thank-you
For being you
For sharing yourself
For caring
For wanting to know me
For loving me in a way
That only you do
For weaving your threads in my tapestry
And wrapping yourself within it
Creating a place that is safe
For us to be…
