What a beautiful
Unhoped for respite!

Lost
Tired
Out of faith

The phone rang
And there you were;

With your gentle voice
And offbeat humour
That dances with my own
Through laughter
And rumbling mellow wit.

You flirted and teased;
I could hear your smile.
You gave me encouragement
Perspective
Stroked my ego with your compliments
And stoked the fire
Of my faith and love
With your enduring friendship
And smiling constancy.

On the verge of giving up
I was pulled
From the brink of
Terrible gaping lonliness
By the ring of the phone
And the reminder
That someone somewhere
Knows the contents of my heart
And likes what he finds there.

-Kari

For David, my best friend and loved one
