Calliope Weeps

In Memory of AK English
1964 - 2006
My Friend, My Mentor, My Soul Sister
*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*<>*

The poetry world you left behind
is a silent place; a reverant hush
replaces frantic scribblings.
Those who mourn your passing
spend memory filled nights and
in the light of day their pens
lay unused, papers blank. Their
hearts are with you beside the
bridges near your final resting place.
Poetic inspiration waits with them
and they feel Calliope weeping
for one more day to inspire you.
But you are not there. You
were too pure of soul to remain.
Now You are a scribe of Heaven
writing lyrics for angels to sing,
songs too sweet for human ears,
words that adorn the endless
night skies as ribbons of stars.
~*~

with her photography are showcased

A sweet and heartfelt song
a fitting anthem of love
and remembrance,

Not only a beautiful way to be inspired, but to be remembered with such heartfelt words of admiration.

Thank you for this~
