there is no louder sound than the silence of a poet's pen left lying on a desk there is no brighter light than the memory of a poet smiling down from the heavens in memory of Wilfred Yeats a gentle man a gentleman a poet rest in peace |

Thank you Bill for all that you shared, all that you taught, and all that you touched with your gentle spirit and generous, kind heart. We love you, we are all better for your touch. For Bill, with respect, admiration & gratitude for all the "Traces Left Behind" My Warrior "Waleha" (Cherokee songs) Ive been searching for my warrior Ive been walking down tracks of time Its such a struggle to seek forgiveness Like chains and shackles these ghosts of mine I am crossing over heaven's seas Where my warrior is waiting for me crossing over heaven's seas Where my warrior is waiting for me Feels like Im dancing with truth and wisdom Precious rhythm you are my guide These days are sacred my heart is humble Oh my warrior ... show me the shining light I am crossing over heaven's seas Where my warrior is waiting for me crossing over heaven's seas Where my warrior is waiting for me Oh can you hear me ... I can hear you Far beyond the tracks of time Oh can you feel me ... I can feel you Feel the power inside this heart of mine Crossing over heavens seas... feel the power inside of me feel the power in this life feel the power in the light. "Waleha" Cherokee songs sung by Rita Coolidge & Laura Satterfield ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 Feels like Im dancing with truth and wisdom |

Very well said, PDV. I have to tell you that I've been purposely avoiding the boards for the past few days, just can't handle seeing his old poems floating around, as if it's all a big mistake...Surely it's all a mistake? Cor |
