Conn’s Song
this gift he possesses
startled my hardened heart
for ‘it’ somehow felt known
he is the elusive one
shrouded in mystery
though his heart glows with a pureness
that cannot be missed
a caring, gentle, selfless soul
who has lived sorrows
though sheds them not on others
a warrior soul with a weathered start
he’s filled with light and love
as if sent from heaven above
a bit of a prophet
a bit of a seer
who is sure to endear
he’ll walk about
as he visits your inner world
unbeknownst
he’ll capture
the ‘essence’ of you
you’ll wonder aloud “how this could be true?”
a bastard not
or an orphan be
he was a gift, if only
temporarily
bestowed upon me.

2009This was a poem written in early 2009 for my friend Conn,
in thanks for his beautiful poem, 'Calli’s Song' that he so
beautifully created for me. This was my humble thanks, though
it could not compare.
If you’ve not yet read 'Calli’s Song' and you
would enjoy doing so, please find it a few posts down below.

Well, I just read "Calli's Song" and I'm copying it so I can get a better feel for it in 'Black-on-White' and I can 'see' it better--that's what I really mean -grin!
I can 'feel' stuff, even when I cannot see it, hear it, touch it, taste it, smell it--believe that.
Always a pleasure--always fun, Calli!
(Steve, get serious!)
touched by the angel within :o)
wow...
THAT is an incredible gift!
a tribute!
i need to see what inspired such beauty!
nice, nice going, Calli!
This is glowing with emotion, the first four stanza made me think of my hubby before he got ill... hoping he comes back to me
-- anyhow, you inspire and I happened to get one of those very scary 'awards!'
Watermelon 10 for people who share their creative spirit and your spirit is just haunting I had to share some of that juicy watermelon with you!
It sounds really romantic, like he is a hero, he is fantastic, I would be glad if I find him and have him with me only for an hour.
I think that you must be in love to write something like that.
Your writing is beautiful Calli. What a gift you have. And what a beautiful gift from Conn. Just lovely.
wow, conn sounds like a great person...
