An anchor
To Roger Guillemin
You are admirable friend
I needed an anchor
Where I can
Cast my sail in safety
Freedom from harsh winds
An affinity between us
Connects to
A deeper rapport
Resonating reality
The influence of life itself
When the silence between us
Is comfortable like action
Emotions tied through
Harmonious tranquility
I know
Your authenticity is eminence
Truly distinguished with merit
You never show
Ceremonial gestures
Only sensitive empathy
You transcend it all
A true practiced love
And pursuing wisdom
Carrying modest integrity
In accord with reality
With a clear vision
Heart in the right place
Select what is admissible
Essential in life
Yet still practicing patience
Your heart
Filled with
A generous affection
Closely monitors
Everybody in need
A lucky recipient
I feel your warmth
Companionable
Understanding
Like-minded
I will stay in tune
Listening to your heart
As always
