.
I meander around the heavens, each and every lonely night,
Searching out adventure in an enchanting shimmering light,
To mysterious far distant places and worlds seen in between,
Where stars burn forth intensely and the air is pure and clean.
Sometimes I meet dear friends from the present or the past,
For dreams permit wondrous fantasies that will forever last,
We Poets can do anything when dreamtime comes around,
Visions living past and present with feelings quite profound,
I often meet a fellow writer who receives my absolute respect,
She reveres almighty God and shows Satan her disrespect,
Many times I wish we had first met in earlier years gone by,
If we had met each other then we would never need to cry.
Destiny has ordained our journey from the actual day of birth,
To follow our predestined voyage while living upon this earth,
We understand the reality that we can never love each other,
So always maintain a special bond, like sister and big brother.
In fact we both remain each day many countless miles apart,
I receive sincerest thoughts from her large and caring heart.
We cheerfully meet in the heavens under shiny stars at night,
I smile eternally grateful while she cheers my lonesome heart.
So my dearest Friend Sandy or sandygram as all on AP know,
Our friendship daily prospers and continues fervently to grow,
We are both caring poets who see the good things in this world,
Uncaring of the spiteful hurts long past so many people hurled.

Princess Perdue Thank you Dear Shaz for both applause and a wonderful comment. I am so glad that you enjoyed this and it made Sandy cry. I have a version that was read onto an audio file by Rufina Caraid which blew poor Sandy away when she heard it. I have put the link below, because I think that you will enjoy it as well, just in case.

A VERY SWEET AND TOUCHING POEM
This is a truly touching poem for someone who honestly means so very much to you. Your words of friendship are simply beautiful.
-
Shaz That is a lovely thought love, but it is between her and you, but her family is probably ten times larger than yours.!!! Honest !! Maybe you can get her to adopt you !! lol. I suggest you surf her page and there is the Family Groups after that. Incredible when you see it. Glad you enjoyed my poem, and you will see from the comments above, it did in fact make her cry. She has adopted me as her BIG BROTHER. and I am honoured to be that.
-
A wonderful piece dearest daddy.I'm sure she'll love it very much.I should add her to my AP family then if you think she's a great poet and friend.
Love you,
Shahrzad

A lovely tribute to Sandy. She was obviously touched by your beautiful words of friendship. I'm sure she'd welcome you into her "family" as her AP brother...it's quite a large group. She tells me you have a lot of grandchildren that keep you hopping. I'm waiting for my first one. He's arriving in June. I can't wait. Wonderful poem...I'll have to read some more of your poetry. G'day!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem with us. You are a very gifted poet. I have been recalling my dreams lately, but most of them have symbolic characters and will need some meditation to interpret them. I look forward to reading more of your poetry. -

In reading, it first would seem that there is completeness to your poem. It is beautifully touching. It is expressed in the most genuine sincereity. The words are correct, the images soft and tender...but the poetry of this write lies within you. You have given us but a glimpse. And I thank you for it.
-
very nice
-
Keep going this is really good!
-
Soul Zero, thank you for an extremely perceptive comment, but that is my normal writing style which I call a "picture poem" as it is designed to put the same images and feelings into the head of the reader as close as possible to what is in mine instead of having to interpret meanings, as done in ordinary free verse. I hope you have time to read some more of my work. Regards Barry
-
Sandy, you always give sincerely and compassionately of yourself to others and so I just want you to know that returning some of your love is our way of showing our respect for you. What goes around .. comes around . bigbaz

Thank you ask261 for such a perceptive and sincere comment framed by a much appreciated applause. It is Sanddy's fault though because she wrote one about me and I had to reciprocate. !!lol

:f
This is so beautiful! I can see that you brought Sandy tears of joy. Well, at least they were of joy!
The phrases flowed, the lines rhymed, everything went perfectly. I am so glad that Shahrzad introduced us. You are a wonderful poet, and as great of a friend as she is to everyone. The compassion towards others and great writing must run in your AP family!
Keep up the great work and keep writing!
