Guiding Moon Last night I gazed on a silvery moon As the dark clouds rolled swiftly by, It seemed as though it was chasing me Although I'm not really sure why It followed me down my favorite lane It stayed with me hither and yon It seemed like it was feeling my pain Shining on me like a crystal zircon I sensed it was friendly shining just so Giving me the message 'hold on' Telling me that I will weather this too Soon all of my cares will be gone And it's light shone upon my path As it followed me to and fro, It seemed to be showing me the way Guiding my heart on which way to go Somewhere deep in the dark of night I thought that the moon was chasing me And then suddenly I realized It was showing my soul how to be free. © 03-15-00 dmsmith and Vagrant aka Wilfred Yeats I had the pleasure of writing with Bill a few times and have just found this 'lil piece in my archives. I know some of you may remember him, may this help keep his memory alive in all of our hearts. Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. {on the wings of words are spirits fly...and our souls are free~me} [This message has been edited by Gentle Spirit (08-07-2002 09:24 PM).] |

Magic, yes there was something very magical in his words..... Thanks and hugs to you also.

Paul indeed it is, his words are sorely missed. Martie, ya know, I just get the feeling that he is looking down smiling and saying to himself that Passions is still the same caring place it was when he was lifted to the angels...... and I believe he smiles with pride..... Magnus, I have been trying to collect together a bunch of stuff that was at one time all but lost.... luckily I did some digging through what I did retrieve and this was among them. I believe there are others....with Wilfred......I will keep looking. Thanks.. Lyra thank you. He was a special person. Hugs back to you. Hope, I remember the days of icq and how he would say......"sure you want to use that line there, don't you think this might work..." and I learned..... tis a gift I will cherish forever. Thanks for holding him so softly in your heart. Hugs to you hope. Karen, it's not so much that I try to live up to my name, I just put it out there the way I feel it. I thank you for carrying him with you in heart.....again I believe he's sayin...... "damn......I do love those folks at Passions." Hugs to you sweet lady. Enjoy life, this is NOT a dress rehearsal. |

Wilfred is indeed, very dearly remembered. Thank you for sharing this lovely duet Donna ... I had a few tears by the time I got down to the bottom here. It's truly amazing how many lives we can touch through these blue pages. Thank you for the warmth of remembrance to start my day ... Best wishes and big hugs /Kit |

GentleSpirit~ Thank you for this little gem~ Wilfred/Bill was sure a delight to have in our circle .... wisdomed, kind, funny, gentle, and at times a sensual scamp~  I remember so vividly his admiration for the writings of Walter Benton ... turned me on to a segment of lovely, well-written romantic poetry ~ I also have several pieces he and I 'worked' on off the pages of blue ... he was so good at inspiring ... of taking what I 'thought I wanted to say' ... and gently coaching me around to another view~  His love for music touches me still~ You're a jewel to share this with us on this day of gentle remember~ *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

I remember Bill, though I didn't know him well. But thank you for this beautiful piece to remember him by. You both did so well at this--your styles seemed to fit really well together. Thank you Donna.  R.I.P. Bill.  God bless America, my home sweet home. |
