To Those I Have Not Met Or Seen Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

To those I have not met or seen...
But feel in my heart I know.
To those whose words
I have read closely.
And have embraced them,
Wherever I may with them go!

How can I rate...
An appreciation of such gifts?
How can I do that,
With a higher understanding...
They have given to me,
That brightens and uplifts!

I wish we could sit together,
And enjoy our happiness.
I wish we could strip away,
From these limiting boundaries.
That is what I wish...
After reading your depictions,
And the lives you live that exist!

I wish to be in your presence.
And hear your words spoken.
As I close my eyes...
To visualize,
Those images from your lips!
