Lauding Spirit

………………………………………………………………….

 You honored me with
Your words of appreciation…
But not nearly as deeply as
You did with your tears of joy…
When our souls bonded.

 Life has been an enchanting
Indoctrination into a spiritual
Existence through trial and
Tribulation and lessons this
Man was destined to learn.

 To be recognized by such
A beautiful spirit,
With the purest of hearts…
To be complimented with
The reverence of your praise…
Is the highest of honors.

 Your gracious tenderness
Is so refreshing…to my
Weathered spirit.
This journey has been
A lonely voyage,
With few who were able,
Or willing to take the time…
To see the value of truth
Which inhabits this soul.

 I’ll cherish this gift
You’ve blessed me with…
I’ll cherish the love that
Has taken root
In virgin soil of our
Souls alliance…

 And vow to nurture and
Cultivate love and friendship
That will endure…
Until we meet again…
In the next life to come.
