FOR THON_ THE POET

by:   Jilli

In your words I felt your heart
the sadness made me cry,
for such a man of gentleness
and all that's been denied.

sad words are a way to weep
and cleanse the heart of pain
to lessen loss and void defeat
so you can love again.

Someone you thought you cared for
who treasured not your gift
A heart unkind and made of stone
that set your soul adrift.

The world at times is blind it seems
to all but reckless fun
and values not important things
when all is said and done.

A man of heart so caring
in war takes gun in hand
and told to shoot those living
upon the ravaged land.

Why a man so sensitive
is put in such a place
where others call the tune and time
and have you run their race.

I think of how it could be
if you were nature bred,
among the fields of love and peace
and were by music led.

Beauty always spilling forth
from your heart and mind
to make the world a better place
with others of your kind.

If only I could make a world
where every person cared
none would ever feel this pain
and love would not be feared.

Everyone would stop and smile
and appreciate such things
as written words so beautiful
and pleasures that they bring.

Where all would feel as you do
because we care for others
where gentle words and lovers poems
are penned to one another.

In my heart this place is real
though it may never be
that there is Peace Up On The Earth
and every person free.

So let me read again your words
I treasure every one
your value is so great my friend
and inspires us all dear Thon_!
