"Does life restrain me from thoughts on your mind"A Poem by Ngoc M. NguyenA tribute to a friend and a remarkable actress/poet and human being.(Dedicated to Fellow Poet and Kindred Friend, Anya Jaenicke, to whom I am indebted for being my "poetic compass" and source of direction)
Does life restrain me from thoughts on your mind; does it impede my mind's-eye picture of you? Alas, with my circumscribed point of view I know this,--that you're of a gracious kind! A poet and a mentor, you remind me of a lost faith in what's pure and true, ideals once held by me and by the few that all the innocents have left behind. So, Anya, I extol you as a brother with these well-chosen lines from this sonnet; please esteem them (as you would your Mother) as if your Muse wholly depends on it. A guide and lodestar, you have earned my love like the poets whose works come from above.
