She Speaks To Angels ~ by poet2angels at All poetry

She sips from chalice,
words to spill for Seasons
where love visits

and pain never prevails.

Humble of heart,
with offer of solace,

she reaches
into endless skies
of compassion's caress

to heal an aching soul
with breath of poetry

beckoning a sigh
to show she was here
bringing light to the listless.

I met "Riverside Louis"
but, she showed me his halo.

Author notes

for Carol (shewolfnative)
a wonderful poet and friend...
I first met her soul when she entered a contest with a poem called "Riverside Louis Never misses a Funeral"

It is not often that a poem touches one so deeply that almost 2 years later, you still remember it's name...

♥ Thank you, Carol!

"where love visits

Sighhh...Indeed, Lynda, she is all these things & more...I also met Riverside Louis, but first met Carol through Thoreau47, our mutual Friend Richard. He brought us together & nurtured us both, much as Carol does with everyone she meets. She is the essence of Love in my eyes. Thank you for honoring her with such lovely words, Sweetie...I see she was quite moved by its beauty...Good luck in the contest...Be well, Poet... Wanda

  thank you, Wanda!
  I am so glad that you hosted this contest to give me the chance to pay tribute with my humble little poem...I always remembered that character "Riverside Louis" so when trying to find a way to pay tribute to her, it was the first thing that came to mind...
  
  I know how close you two are and I know why...You are birds of a feather....both so wonderful
