There is something splendid about you,
I can see it
In your brown eyes
And the way
You smile
At strangers,
I can see it
In the way
You lift your hands
To the sky
And the sun
Shines.
There is something splendid about you,
I can see it
When you sleep
And the moon
Lights
The silence,
I can hear it
In your stories
Weaved
In make-believe.
There is something splendid about you,
I can read it
When you write,
Because no matter
What you say
The words spell
Kindness
And loveliness
And I know this
Because it’s true.

I love meeting people like that, and, just as much, I love reading exemplary celebrations of folks like that, exemplary celebrations like this.
Strong piece!
nice. your verse says much about the person to whom it was intended...obviously true if they carry that much within their words...nice one shot!
You cause us to want to know and like them also.
I truly loved this one, cos yeah..there is always something special that drag us to the people who we are meant to meet..it is too delicate, magical that i closed my eyes for a second to watch myself there..lovely one shot!

There is something splendid about your writing, and about the thoughts behind it. Some lucky so and so, to be written about like this... Loved your poem!
this is the language of love - woven into your verses - seeing a person with lover's eyes and feeling the magic - love it!
Wow, thanks for the comments everyone! I wrote this poem for a friend of mine, She is really like that! The words came easily.
Wow, Jean-Michel, beautifully written. I love the line:
...And the moon
Lights
The silence,
I can hear it
In your stories
Weaved
In make-believe.

Beautiful poem, lovely and joyous lines, i enjoyed it and nice oneshot!

PS: Didn't realize your use of "splendid." Splendid is a splendid word, too often (sadly) ignored, a misfit of compliments, and fits perfectly in this poem.
There is something splendid about this poem's celebration and observation of someone special. I loved the lines:
"I can hear it
In your stories
Weaved
In make-believe" - this reminded me of a friend of mine who is pure magic to watch tell a story.
Isn't it amazing when you meet someone whose soul simply shines out of them, encompassing all who encounter them in warmth. That is the sense I get from your poem. I don't know yet if you have a 'followers' section, but if you do, I'm in. I would be honoured if you would visit my blog http://bleedingmoonpoetry.blogspot.com. I, too, am South African.
Beautiful write... I loved the lines
“You lift your hands
To the sky
And the sun
Shines.”
and
"When you sleep
And the moon
Lights
The silence"
Such a pleasure to read!
