Oh how your tender touch overshadows
Those dreary days that spiral into night
Your whispers caress my soul once hollow
In my darkest dreams with wisdom's insight
Upon gossamer wings my spirit soars
From tender devotion of verses true
I feared my tears would fall forevermore
Then I found a prayer answered within you
I feel those soft pages from psalms within
Glancing at verses of sweet love divine
Finding refuge inside your heart of hymns
Blessings bestowed with compassion's design
Heavenly portraits you weave into rhyme
Your heartbeat graces the void within mine

I particularly love the words: 'inside your heart of hymns', that really stays with me with such a strength.
I read a poem which is dedicated as tribute very personally, and yet is at the same time universal, just as love is. Excellent 'piece', congratulations for a deserved, I'm sure, Gold trophy. Sol

You do weave poetry so divinely and it always leaves me feeling warm and peaceful inside. The rhythm and rhyme were superb and this flowed effortlessly as I read through it more than once.

Timothy, I don't even know Raggyann, but your heart is bigger than the sky. I can see how her serene words of compassion must have helped you through a very rough time. Many here, who have come to know you, and your beautiful poetry; have written dedications to you, will appreciate your sincere words of love for someone who has impacted your life, greatly. As I get to know you better, I, too will write a dedication. I cried, knowing something has been troubling you. I wish you could also share with me. I am not a gossip, and in my profession have learned how to bring peace to the soul .Ask and yee shall receive.Asfor your poem, as a pro at writing, the rhyming is perfect. Your words made me cry. Thanks for sharing your soul to a woman of merit.

I am touched Timothy
to be placed on your dedications list.
I am blown away at the honour you have bestowed to me, I enjoy your poetry when i get to read it. I never would have dreamed you would dedicate one of them to me, thats like giving me the last chocolate in the box, for this i send you hugs and prayer's and of coarse my appreciations.
This poem is written tenderly with a caring heart. Your insight into life is so inspiring to many of us poets here on AP.
Now do me a favour and sit back and read this...
"Finding refuge inside your heart of hymns
Blessings bestowed with compassion's design"
Your words King of poets, you should be proud!

And whomsoever should fill a void...
let them be recognized as heaven.
Yes, I made it up but it seems very

serious contemplation. This is a gorgeous
