Poem for a Friend

I found myself dreaming about a beautiful woman, a dear friend and very talented Poetess from Florida, Holly Hunter. She’s always inspiring to read and I encourage guests to visit her web site, House of Heart.

From a dream I awoke
To a whisper, she spoke -
   I am here by your side, hold me near
	
   Keep me close until light
   Warm this cool autumn night
   Sharing sheer happiness, love me dear
