Thank you...

Written by my brother, this poem was inspired by a beautiful woman he encountered on his trip to Romania. The young woman, a theatrical actress, was described to me as earthy, soulful and simply just wonderful to be around.

He was smitten with her genuiness and realness. He felt like a teenager on his first date. Whilst he had to continue his journey and therefore leave her behind, he was left eternally touched.

I in turn was so touched by the depth of my brother and his words, that with permission I now reproduce it for my readers. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Thank you

As the wind blows gently forth

Every morning at the break of dawn

Bringing life to summer days

For me your presence is the same

I have seen you form a smile

Not that easy to forget

And your eyes that make men flutter

Speak of longing, though I see pain

You hide behind a wall of glass

That is darkened to their sight

Yet I see you clear as day

Your inner beauty is insane

You glide the pavement as the wind

Gleaming eyes follow your stream

I see them turn and sigh relief

They know an angel spread her wings

The weight of love may be your burden

That you carry night and day

A breath of life and inspiration

For all to feast on through their pain

You give hope to all the helpless

You bring love and that’s your gift

What a flower everlasting

I wish I held in my own hands

There’s no denying how I feel

Because your presence seems unreal

Your smile and your gleaming eyes

Bears a will to hold you tight

To say I thank you that we met

Is incomparable to an embrace

I’d rather a kiss that’s everlasting

Repeated daily till the end
