ENRICHMENT OF MY SOUL
S. Cat Mar 08/04

Awed, amazed, my senses staggered at the sheer scope written
This seemingly endless multiplicity of words, an abundance of talent
My eager eyes seek out, voraciously devour each and every word

The distressing depths of despair wrenched from her pained heart
Bleakness ensues as raw aching wounds are etched in sorrow
The hurt borne through loving, a giving of herself to the wrong sort

I'm uplifted, soaring upwards as I'm taken to new heights of delight
Lighthearted, airy and whimsical tales that enchant my total being
Bringing to me a calmness, a sense of floating on a sea of tranquility

My eyes watery, clouding over, upon reading of the small child in pain
Wanting to tightly hug that child, show love, take away all fear and hurt
Teach them, that hatred, war and strife are not the way most people live

The overwhelming feelings pulled forth as I sit and read in stunned pride
Smiling in delight at her vivid imagination, the endless scope of her talent
As she portrays a young scholarly wolf that can communicate telepathically

Heedlessly I fall, deep, way down, tumbling within a fathomless well
Empathic, feeling suffering, the pain endured as a lost love is conveyed
With the sincere depths of feeling that must make the angels weep

Along comes a little old lady with the naivete of heart and goodness of soul
As she bumbles and fumbles her way through delightful chaos in her life
Brings a deep smile to my face, makes me laugh in unadulterated enjoyment

Overwhelmed at the sheer mastery with words, profound thoughts in prose
Delving deeper and deeper, I glean more with each successive reading
Some knock the bottom out of my stomach and leave me feeling drained

Soft sensuous words that embrace all my senses, as if in tactile touch
Words enveloping and wrapping themselves around my mind and heart
Pulling me deep into a world of the passionate pleasure of sensuality

All this and many, many more, words that rip and tear emotions from me
Delightful laughter, profound joy and despair, endless rivers of tears
I thank each of you that has helped to foster this enrichment of my soul.
