A spiritual friend.

 

Brushed by petals of delicate orchids,
she glistens at dawn and shines with the eve.
As robust as any of nature's red roses,
devout enough that her eyes can perceive.

Insight; a feeling or deep understanding,
steady she goes holding on to her wheel.
Testing the waters unfolding my nightmares,
taking the first steps to tighten the deal.

A comrade I cherish she’s always beside me,
recharging my strength, to go on through my days.
Few words are spoken but feelings are plenty,
I hope that she knows she has lifted my haze.

Touched by an angel, a spiritual sister,
forever a beam in her all knowing eyes.
Her wings are unfolded, she stands at the forefront,
guiding me onward with words that are wise.

Dousing the fires that spread through my spirit,
lighting the candles that pilots my way.
Molding me towards an awareness sensation,
just like the potter who shapes his red clay.

I want to tell her, she’s my earthly angel.
But how can I pen the right words that I feel?
A blessing, a gift, a friend that I treasure,
that’s guiding my hands as I steer my own wheel.

    This is very good the only thing I see that really is a distraction is the "As robust as any" kinda a tongue twister.
    But honestly I love this Dear It is beautiful

    it has been a long time since I last visited your poetry ... and today I felt compelled to do so ... what I have found was a treasure of so much beauty and grace, a tribute offered with so much love and humility ... that my heart got filled with joy and gratitude ... may your niece feel as much grace as I just did when drinking the nectar of your words ...
    you are one of the greatest poets I have encountered so far ...
    with deep love and sincere respect,
