There in the place
     of silence weeping
there in the home
     of worry fearful


a woman lives remarkable
with love to fly the world around

and now our arms
     encircle you
wider and stronger
     than moon-pushed tides


Elizabeth you are our wonder
your life and poems rich inspire

and I cry out for you
     my tears reach over
heaven-bound
     a healing prayer


into the wounded body of your beloved
into the bravery of your family

I am here
I am here
many voices
chant the same


just call across to us
our friend in need
for here we sit the vigil with you

Kamla~
Yes.
We sit the prayer vigil for friends.
This is so lovingly done, dear one.
Thank you for placing it here.

On wings of angels we rush our prayers
for Tony and Liz and family.
Love to them all.
They will feel our presence.
*Hugs*

But let's keep this one up top today...

Love, hugs, and prayers remain with you and your family Elizabeth.

In proportion as we draw strength
from beyond the earthly,
so will our impermeability
to earthly illusion be strengthened.

And in so far as our love,
each for the other,
transcends this fleeting place,
so may we glimpse
the eternal.

Love

as the candles light
as the prayers are offered
as one we can speak
as many we can sing
as hearts we can open
as spirits we can feel
as friends we can love

the vigil continues. . . and we seek. . .

Severn, your words, so sweet and sincere.  


As thoughts come soft
to swaddle 'round you
wrapping warm, in comfort's care
and hearts pour forth
our truest touchings
we are with you, we are there

My prayers and loving thoughts, dear Liz. (((((((you)))))))

I woke up early this morning and at 6:30 was sitting on the side of my bed when the phone rang. Surely it was a call from the hospital. But no, a lovely voice from the other side of the world was there to greet me, console me, and warm my heart. Then I opened Passions to find this lovely poem. I thank you dear Kamla and all the poets for all your love and support

Can I say,
I pray daily for Christ soon return... when we can all be together and write some different kinds of tunes. I'm so very blessed to know all yours and passions caring... Kamla, this is wonderful and my vigil still goes on for Elizabeth. I never knew your heart before... and so many others too... thanks so much for the sharing... I'll see you K, and Liz and Tony on a far better shore than here.
