Happy Birthday to My Cyber Friend

H appy birthday to my cyber friend!
A s words must be our medium, a poem,
P erhaps, may best my birthday wishes send,
P oems being inner portraits out on loan.
Y et I would be a landscape in the mountains,

B right sun battering an empty sky,
I mmense rock faces answering all questions,
R esolving all in what instead of why.
T o you I send a hope for happiness
H edged with roses bristling in the wind,
D oing double duty for their mistress
A s sentinels against the tricks of mind,
Y et luring well the love that makes life kind.
