quiet, reserved, she speaks with fire
that quickens the pulse
a soothing confidant whose blood
can flow like wind over a glacier
solidifying would be assaults
In a darkened room of yesteryear
looms the ominous shadow of hopeless
how brave 'afraid' gives her strenghth
each day, her loving presence made known
her pen and ink touches us all near or far
Amidst the bland on a corner place
sit two smiles to adorn her face
butterflies and unicorn reminders
of the day and days to come;
our Riftkin will grace our pages

what a wonderful write-you have created a slice of serenity, which is a gift, and a tribute which is touching.

daisy, we all classify friends in terms of 'best', close' and otherwise. Once in awhile one comes along that fits all catagories and rift is one of many that fits them all

I liked the last stanza allot, particularly,
"Amidst the bland on a corner place
sit two smiles to adorn her face"

This is beautiful Joe, what a sweet thing to say and write about. I do not know Riftkin as well as you but she is a doll from what I do know. Wonderful penning. Well done.
