A Poem For A Poet

For Yuri

A poem for a poet…
is not an easy feat
and anyone a trying could easily have cheat,
by taking words with empty meaning
borrowing from a book or reading
and dedicating it someone special as you are.

A poem for a poet…
is not a lightly matter
a serious side it should.
For as it is not just a rhyme
and as it is not just a picture
the poet herself would
perhaps have said it better

A poem for a poet…
should of that person bear
The light side and the dark
If ever so you’d dare
A life entranced with colour
A life in Light and shade and bling
to us many happiness did bring

Our poem for a poet…
is not a somber sonnet
It hails a woman rich with character
And rich in memory and in word
It speaks of “Y” and then of “sommer”
It reaches deep into a soul so
misty and oft so somber

A poem for a poet…
who bears a Gypsy side
should not with other hails and honours
be taken on a lightly stride.
For deep between the eyes of woman
lies the wisdom of a road
by others hardly journeyed.
And in the lavish strokes of brush
the paint belies a story
Of searching for a higher cause
And of a Higher glory

A poem for a poet…
Is easier said than done
So travel on dear lady
And teach how its done…
