when morning rises and dusts off webs of night,
she rises, like a flock of doves from the hayloft
releasing heartful of words, out into ether
that gathers them into sigh’s bouquet,
gives them to those who recognize
soulful sweet sighs
by night, she withdraws like swan
to smooth glass,
etching her signature to be traced
by hands who desire to touch
awe and inspiration’s Muse
gathering midnight meanings,
stroking edge of my loose lake of yearning
like hope in deepest night
and I am ecstatically aware that faith has a name

Dear Heart, you had to know I wept upon reading these beautiful words of yours. I am honored & grateful to call YOU my Friend, my Sister, my Comrade in Arms Gripping Pens. 
If you are aware that Faith has a name, then I am also aware that so does Grace. Thank you so much for your constant, loving support & for the wonder of reading your prolific words. Good luck in the contest, Sweetie.

From her Heart and Soul...
You know the Lady well! A monumental tribute to one of AP's finest, from another equally stalwart contributor. You've filled this with your Heart & Soul. The Love, Admiration, Respect, Caring, and Camaraderie, all shine through! You two are surely Soul Sisters... a forever attachment! Wanda will be crying tears of joy after reading this...
"releasing heartful of words, out into ether

Ya got me in tears {of joy}, too.
Beyond Beautiful, My PenFriend.
