He Was





He Was


He was a flute to my violin
lucid, clear, piping through
my wailful strumming
interrupting my discordant shrieks
with tones of wisdom.

He was thick, rich cream
smoothing my black coffee panic
making each gulp 
palatable and smooth
with his silky intonations.

And now, he's a ghost who hovers
lingers, whispers, warns
reminding me I'm whole at last
because now we speak freely.
Kindred spirits always do.

  3. Karen, you already write. It just isn't making it to paper lately. You were born a writer.
