(dedicated to Ahmad Shiddiqi) <br /> <br />Who is this kind spirit? <br />Humble and kind with true essence. <br />Its magnetism draws others near It, <br />Its consideration like the crescents <br />Of the oceans’ waves upon the banks- <br />Softly tickling the untouched sands. <br />The deep abyss of Its being quite easily ranks <br />Among the outranked. Its giving hands <br />Emit comfort. Its words powerful and simple. <br />Its soul whispers the whisper of a steadfast friend— <br />Understanding and empathetic with drive <br />To make peace peaceful. A shoulder to cry, an ear to lend. <br />This spirit gives inspiration to strive <br />For the better in life, love, belief and future goals. <br />May this spirit be blessed until time no longer tolls.<br /><br />Conchita Mauer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/spirit-14/
