The man of poetry

I did not know him
I wish I could say
The man so talked about
Had come my way

The man of poetry
Truly an art
He said so much
Through all your hearts

I commend you all
In your wondrous tributes
To a man of peace
The words you distribute

Come from the hearts
Of all asking why
I’m sorry for all of you
Who have to say goodbye

Cpalmer

My prayers go out to all of you

Cindi, that you read, and that you heard, means that you would have enjoyed the Poet that was once here, and remains...for us...in the walls of blue...

a fine and gentle person...

you may visit his works in the archives...

I did not know him either, except through the gentleness and light of his poetry.  He will be missed.

I had only found out yesterday, and though I did not know him, I will remember him fondly as being gentle, kind and blessed with a gift of talent for writing- as I yet strive to achieve.  I will definately miss his kind words of poetry and encouragement.

Cindi~
The words the poet shared with us ...
went far beyond the pages blue.
E-mails of caring and understanding were also such a large part of Bill's persona.

I appreciate this *hug* you've given us.
Thank you, sweet lady.

Cindi, Bill was a wonderful poet, and friend.  Although I never had the pleasure of meeting him in the "real"  I have enjoyed him and writing with him at times.  He will be missed by all.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Wonderful tribute, Cindi.  He was a wonderful man and poet.  It was an honor to get to know him through his writing.
