Through the hot, humid night air the funeral dirge plays a slightly disturbing descant to her laugh ...its just life she mutters I cant sleep she whisper to me sing me a lullaby and across the miles I tell her you are safe, sleep gently. You are all things bright you are talented, smart... ...beautiful...even in the darkest depths that we shared But she doesn't believe She is my mirror reflecting me back to me never seeing the her I see Its late...lets write lets tease lets play together here the only way we can be When I was afraid...YOU laughed my fears away When I cried...YOU held me across the miles When I triumphed...YOU applauded me Who will do that now? Who will show me the way? I cant wrap my head around the truth You are gone and we will never again torment the moon with our poetry we will never again grin because "hell ya he is HOT!' we will never again pick apart a muse that leaves us struggling I cannot do justice to the impact you had on my life I can only say... Sleep gently sweet friend...sleep gently For Karen |

Beautiful is the first word that comes to mind. It is a word used much too much these days, but this poem is beautiful. To know someone so intimately is to know yourself. I'm sorry she has left you, but it wouldn't surprise me if she has a front row seat wherever she is and is watching you, and yes, even protecting you. ~*~ Love is friendship set on fire. ~*~ |

This is so very special. What a wonderful tribute to your relationship. What a lovely way to outline the space she left behind. I couldn't agree more with Jerry, I ditto that! Lori  |

I miss her too, Paula. She never understood just how precious and beautiful she was, or how much she touched the rest of us. Her memory will always be cherished. Michael |

I was away form PiP for so long...away from her...not so much by choice as by life. This doesn't even come close to whats in my heart |
