For this I thank you

I long for your words, need them,
want them, over and over again
like a raincoat from the tears of
sadness and darkness in the
autumn winds.

I'm an addict for your words,
a necessity to survive the winter,
they're special with an air of home;
like a cup of coco on a cold and frozen
winter's day.

I get nourishment from your flattering words
which make my seed of strength deep inside
grow and be ready to burst out and meet the
spring sun.

I become more whole with every word you write
and feel as beautiful like the scent of
a hundred wild flowers on a meadow at
midsummer's night.

-

I change like the seasons with your words;
to the better
so I collect the strength from them
and save it for the harder times;
when the wind is too strong, the snow too deep,
the rain too heavy or the sun too hot
to fight alone.
