YOU LEFT A VOID

How is it that one can become so attached

At such a deep level

With someone they\'ve never met,

Nor will ever meet,

Simply by sharing poetry?

 

The question answers itself;

Poetry is of the soul, and in sharing it,

Souls touch.

The facade of physicality is irrelevant,

Not in play.

 

The connection is at a spiritual level,

Beyond the mind and matter of us.

 

I do not know, from what you told us,

If or when you might return.

But know this ...

 

When I say I will miss you

My sweet young friend,

Know the depths from which I speak ...

 

I will miss you, Kathy Hall.
