Healer Of Desperate Souls

--for Eleni 

Of that precious 
Small pocket of air 
You carry with you 
Like a talisman against all 
The ills of the world 
That descend upon us 
Everywhere, tell me again 
And again how it is 
Everything it touches 
Dispels untold depression 
And despair!

  1. A moving poem, and a beautiful, loving tribute to Eleni. It is a straightforward poem and its plain address makes it all the more touching.

  2. Thank you, John; I'm sure she will be thrilled when I tell her what you said!
