David Harris - Inspirational

Sometimes we meet someone
who will inspire us so much
even when they are no longer within our sight.
Their lasting legacy lingers on through the years.
Just the very thought of them
transports us to a situation
that may never have happened
and may never really happen.
Years ago I met such a person
whose beauty could capture
and in captivate anyone she met.
She has inspired me for more years
than I care to remember.
Where she is now I do not know
except hidden in my memory
until the next time I need her to inspire me again.
Her dormant presence remains
where ever I may wander
and with just a moment’s thought
I can call her back to again to set my pen in flight.
Though the years she has inspired
songs, poems and short stories.
Her memory even inspired me to write this,
so where ever you are Gillian Reid
thank you for being inspirational.
