http://www.asylumcafe.com/farewel1.mp3 <<< Click this link to listen. Crossing Heavens Door (a sonnet recital for Wilfred) The Rain is here; the clouds have come, cold heart, And We, a tear drop in this dampened life; You were Our special poet full and part, Tonight, We walk in Dark without your light. The rain has covered all that We once knew, But water is not enough to wash this pain; We’ll walk this muddy path in search of you, Although your life has gone and left this plane; Your words at least will be Our guides tonight, Where ever they may lead, We ask not why? Away from our own fears where death takes life; Please take Us to a place where Poets don’t die! We’ll write and sing for poets, now gone, before, As you our Wilfred crosses heavens door. FareWell Good Poet…. James Parker Haley July 11, 2001 A repost request for ARH, to honour our own and for this recited theme. |

He gave it his ultimate best up until the very last few days...and even then, as he could, he thought of his poets. Thank you, Parker. |

The words in themselves, were moving ~ however, your wonderful voice expressing your emotions, just heightened the emotionality of it all.  EA |

Oh boy, Parker ... hearing you recite this had me teary-eyed. This was such a wonderful tribute to Wilfred, and indeed, all poets who have come and gone amongst us. It brought back a lot of memories.  Beautifully written ... Beautifully spoken ... Just ... Beautiful.  Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

He is ever in my heart...an ache that never heals but joy like a wind driven bird as well. Thank you for this Parker, for making me always remember even when it hurts. |

I only ask, if and when I die, if you would write and recite a poem for me just as beautiful! ~Love and hugs ~ARH You know you're in love, when you can't fall asleep,because reality is finally better than your dream~Dr.Seuss |
