Being led across kingdoms, entranced
Circling his awareness
Mind’s persistent impeccable omniscience...
Nobility
Being led across kingdoms, entranced
Curing his animosity
Momentarily pleased...inviting...
Openly nurturing
Being labeled as knighthood evolved
Creating hostile avengers
Mercifully pardoning...initiating
One’s necessity

I don't understand, my truest friend said... well, I wrote this for my friend Blake Champion, and although I know we're not supposed to mention specific names in this forum, since my friend passed on, I thought I'd cry in front of you...using his name as a way to vent my loss of such a noble soul... Each and every line spells out "Blake Champion"... and so inadequately memorializes him... that in the eve of his leaving this Earth, this was the best attempt I had at trying....[Sorry, Blake] He was my best of all, and left our attempt at the world, to travel his own...Married, accepting three kids not his own, and finally making one for his reflection...they all were killed tonight in a tragic road accident. I weep immensely, and share the story of sorrow with all of you, my newfound respite of friends!

As does mine, friend Purity. Seems he was a man, aptly named.

*extending my hand*

come get some hugs whenever you need them lovie...

I can only imagine the pain that you have held with this...just know that your love and tears urge him and his family to a better place.

You know my email is yours sweet C...

and I just had to mention in a time of sorrow- forgive me- but this is an outstanding hidden tribute as well...

much love
~Tanya

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

"The only intolerable thing is that nothing is intolerable"
Purity, heartbreak is one thing...heartbreak in loss through death is an abomination not understood.
This was so chivalrous, noble, and memorially appropo. Your friend would (and I am sure of this fact, is) proud.
Excellent tribute. And my sincerest condolences, humble friend.

"So give life to your dreams, for there lies your survival, and cast your heart beyond those faded scenes, and I'll bring you through the storm

You have a talent with words.  I haven't yet the talent for deciphering the acrostic part, lol.

Anyhow, you are quite good at telling much using few words.  This is definitely one for my library.
