For Suzanne Gaddess br br A voice with no sound br Stretches across invisible miles br A voice of words like an outstretched hand br Its fingers waiting to be touched br By another in a much sought bond of friendship br The words are read and treasured like precious jewels br br The fingers have touched br br Another voice of words br Extends itself across the miles br Like an invisible thread br The much sought link is forged br Friendship through words of unseen faces grows br Trust follows in the distance br As words of comfort, sorrow and joy br Move back and forwards along the invisible thread br br br 28 December 2006br br David Harrisbr br
