Become A Poet (For Patti) Poem by Eric Cockrell
Become A Poet (For Patti)
some hearts are born hungry,
with a hunger that makes
mountains tremble, and trees fall.
some souls are born thirsty,
with a thirst that makes
rivers run dry, and clouds weep
without aching tears.
some spirits are born reaching,
from beneath the earth
to the realm of the sky,
touching, always daring to touch.
some beings are born to love,
and love so much so hard,
that the void left by the flood
cannot be filled...
and so become a poet!

I was really ill about the time you posted this, seems to me you were trying to pull me back from the edge of the abyss. Well, I think it worked, and so I say, thank you, both that you wrote this beauty about me and that you took the time to save me! My mentor, savior..and friend..
