Ahavati

I’ve always said she’s been a voice of reason

When times got so befuddled and rough

She’s been an artistic inspiration

A lyrical sister who knows her stuff

She’s got a passion for…ars poetica

She has been supportive and perceptive

Even when others have tried her patience

She’s been up-front, honest and receptive

I remember discovering her works

Then she suggested readings and writers

It felt as if she pointed me to doors

Like an open library to outsiders

I know in her personal life she is loved

It’s in the name (for those who understand)

To me she’s become one of my mentors

I’m grateful to know her and call her a friend

May the winds continue to be kind in our poetic journeys
