He has found a home where hallowed angel hearts rejoice He is silent, yet his wisdom speaks without a voice His verses left a footprint on the fragile path to peace yet his words are still the fill of gushing springs that never cease He sang new songs to me like new-hatched sparrows in the dawn He touched me deep in places no one else has ever gone He loved me like a poet loves another poet’s dream I loved him like the dawn reveres the birthright of a beam His words are yellow buttercups that still reflect the sun His verses are the sounds of earth when darkness comes undone The buzzing in my meadow and the hush of wooded nook The whisper of my breezes and babbling of my brook His words are still immersed in deepest wells of mellowed age Yet like an infant genesis upon the passion page His thoughts are ever vibrant in the folds of paper‘s crease And his words are like the fill of gushing springs that never cease With Love Liz |

So very touching and beautiful, Elizabeth. I am sure our dear Seymour delights all the inhabitants of Paradise with his verses still ... And his beauty continues to dwell also in our hearts. He was so special within this loving community of poets. Love, Margherita |
