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,
melodies that adorn the endless
night skies as ribbons of stars.

A very moving write, dear Marcia. I enjoyed reading it once more.

This precious bond will inspire you always.

Love,
Margherita

Yikes, my bad. I forgot I'd posted this tribute when I first joined. Glad you enjoyed it the second time around, Margherita and Jerry.

It doesn't matter, Marcia, that you posted it again - nor that you post it again and again - the more one reads a well-written poem or listens to a piece of good music, the more one loves it. And this exquisite tribute to your very worthy and much-loved friend, is worth of as many postings as you ever make. I for one empathised with you and appreciated the excellence of your tribute poem even more this time(or we for two, including Margherita).
