I could not bear to post nor feel my heart render a reply the pain quickens me surrender is my folly at moment, I have felt your heart known your souls temptation, laughed at your whim let my tears stain my cheek. For time undending I have read words that I could not have believed imagined them near by breast as some form of small memory. I wonder, if at all, it was enough, for yours was a pain greater, but yours was a concern for others with which we at times were blinded. And so your heart gave way to what we all eventually must face, that world which does encrouch and threatens our peace. Your loss to this house of words for a time, yes I understand, shall never once be replaced nor should any try. For you have been my light my beackon of hopes everlasting, my sanctuary when I belived I had lost, and inspiration for continuing on. Your gestures of love to which you gave without constraint has been a guiding force umongst us, and we are better for it all. I shall miss those sweet words that fall like flakes of new snow upon my face in the glow of a winters day sunset when my heart could burst my soul let loose, and nothing from my pen could replace your presence on this earth. To you my poet in heart.... I understand as we all do... I shall await your return with hope, prayers and patience... For your words are a strength which binds this community of poets as a family...... For that I bid you good grace, love, and strength for the days ahead..... Take care Janet, My love Michael. |

From the very first word I read ... I saw your gift, your light, your grace. Your words played my heartstrings, and allowed healing tears to dance on my face. So moved by you, I was ... the way you hold your heart in your hand. The way you love unselfishly ... I knew you were special...I knew you understand. Some are born Poets ... some born Butterflies, Some just see the morning ... some are part of the golden sunrise. I have seen the light you give off, its there ...with your heart on your sleeve. I have seen my reflection in your poetic eyes ... and in you ... I believe. *********** Thank you Michael...my words wont do you justice ... so I will just say thank you for this poem... you KNOW I will treasure it always ... and I love you for it. stronger each day...through our poetry .. and each other. We will make it ... I know ... thank you my gentle poet in heart ... for this ... and all the "traces left behind" Janet Marie There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Michael- I want to thank you for posting such a wonderful tribute to my good friend. I know she loves you for it and she will forever cherish you and this forever. I have talked to her today and I wish you could have heard how much you have really touched her. Thank you once again. You are a true friend to her and a poet in heart. |
