new friends online

been YEARS since I posted here, but thought, what the hell? I've recently been published online and have now got 'fans' and even fan mail which is hysterical! So funny and so flattering. I actually wrote this poem for a new friend I've made online.

How could I have known
a few kind words would lead to this?
I'd never have imagined a virtual stranger
could give me bliss.
Paths that lead to unexpected places,
Voices issue from unexpected faces.
Wonder and awe in a cloud around me,
Joy battles for victory over glee.
A warm smile or laugh brings out the same,
a presence poised there on the edge of fame.
Music and stories, communion long distance;
Fun and frivolity, and giggles in an instance.
How can I thank you for this given for free?
There's this treasure unlocked and you're the key.
You a very dear friend I haven't yet met,
Years of closeness that've not happened yet.
Thrilled at the adventure only just begun.
Thank you dear soul for all you've done
