. To my side I hear a sound Of waves upon a hull I call The fog is thick I hear a responding feminine Parallel course Through the mists of color I wonder If on this journey You could see Your being near me Just out of sight But there Like you I know not where I will or am Only That I must go on Would you mind I’d like to hear what you see With all your eyes Those woman's words In a woman's voice Would mean so much Often I fear the scars Of even my own victories And I will share The braveries I've learned When your own injuries Dread the dark The wind is up I stay the wheel Through the evening Again I call Are you there I am here Sailing Sailing Perhaps we are going Together home ................... Calm Seas Fair Winds Helen John . |

In this most refined and intimate "call" you really unveil the nucleus of your heart where there is room only for pure love. Dear Helen most certainly hears you. Intensely touching, John. Margherita |

Well, I have no favorites on this subject - other than Helen of course. I think it's wonderful that everyone is writing to/for/about her, and beautifully so . . . so I'm just going to add this to everyone's piece so you'll know I was here, read, and experienced again, the tears for her... jimmy |
