               SHE
    [in memory of Kacy ...
      fine poet and grand
       human being]

she …

is the dazzle in the flaming
sunset on a crimson sea ...

is the mystery in the vast,
eternal star-tipped night …

is the magic in the boundless
mountain moonlight …

is  the splendor in the
misty morning sunrise …

is the gentle resplendence
in the imperishable Spring …      

is the very breath and touch
of all that love is …  
or could ever hope to be

               --- b. e. adams  

[and, also in dedication to and celebration of all lovely ladies everywhere that
  grace this world with their minds, hearts, spirits, 'voices,' and very presence]

[For those of you who did not know her,  Kathleen   ('Kacy')  Stafford
  called herself "Midnitesun" here in "P.I.P.-land" by the cyber-sea]

Heh.Heh. That P.S., is a suck up if I ever saw one. Don't blame you one bit for it either, just Heh.Heh. pointing it out.

The poem bespoke of the loveliness of what nature gives us to admire and feel very good about. I'm quite sure that Kacy is looking at the words and her mouth is forming a smile. I know mine is.

Hmmm, I feel too ignorant to comment...so, I'll just listen an see what, verbally, transpires. Appears to have an interesting history. Hope to see more...

Thank you for posting this. Kacy was a woman who just spoke respect and love, for life,for people and most of her for all that lives and grows on this earth. We wrote to each other privately and I thought her to be one of a kind. jo perry

lovely ladies, and human beings in general, don't come any finer than Kacy Stafford.

She deserved far, FAR better than the hand she was dealt by 'Life' ...

MANY thanks to all who remember Kacy fondly ...  Perhaps 'heaven' is other folks holdin' us in their hearts when we are gone ?!
