He was a quiet man, unassuming in act, taciturn, not prone to gregariousness. He was a quiet man, who fought life's battles, demurely, on his own. He was a quiet man, who found his voice, surprisingly, through quill and parchment. He was a quiet man, writing dreams of gods, feverishly, in his enduring solitude. He was a quiet man, whose thoughts and hopes, thankfully, will now last forever. < !signature--> Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.

If you're working on you education - search out the poems by Nan - awesomely beautiful poetry, which often requires a refreshingly pleasing romp through a dictionary!< !signature--> Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn.

JP, I think this speaks well for all poets here, especially the men [sometimes we women think we own all of the quilled pens] so I would like to see you submit this for the book, please? I will watch for it...so I may vote... Sunshine ~~~Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller ~~~ |

I enjoyed this...a flowing pen can certainly have a resounding voice, as yours does in this poem. Lovely writing, to be sure. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
