Solace and a smile
came to me
within midnight's sadness

unexpectedly

from a man
whom I
had never met

It was a most
wonderful and
needed thing

He read to me poems
that I had written

recorded from him
to me

No one had ever
done that before

My words
from his mouth
traveled across an ocean

to reach my landlocked ears

His voice
was the most
beautiful voice

that I
had ever heard

and his laugh
made me
laugh too
