In Your Memory Sometimes it never really mattered, You know, Under what guise I might pen my thoughts, As you should find me, For you would follow my footsteps along Sandy shores to the pier Or view a landscape with your eye searching A horizon for the lines of the house You had built In your dreams You never gave me a line That I could not twist into a new thought And you spoke lightly Of your impending demise, You were not afraid. You colored life with a city’s horizon In glass and gleam, Noisy footsteps and family gatherings, Losses by fire And fired memories. In your waking moments You touched so many, tenderly and Jovially, so that even cowboys Would want to visit the city Now and then, If you were there. You danced with many and Enjoyed all of the words left by The Moths and Moonbeams, but You enjoyed butterflies And silly smiles as well. You said you would be gone Just for a few days ~ Getting better, you said, But we knew, we knew. You once said I fit my name, But then you called me Erin, And, find me smiling, it still fits. A few months before your last leave You reminded one and all It is all right to begin, and all right to end But you just wanted everyone to know that You, and we, should do it with class. I hope I never stop giving, with class, So that I might give on, in your memory. ~*~ Remembering Wilfred Yeats /pip/Forum48/HTML/003333.html |

You colored life with a city’s horizon In glass and gleam, I love your imagery here, Lady in White... Being a city person, myself... I know that "glass and gleam" are the perfect words for a city's horizon.  ~ city hugsLyra |

Bill was loved by many and several of us on here from another site had the pleasure of his words and company for years...he definitely was a romantic man and wonderful poet. Thanks Lady for remembering him *smiling* M [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (07-17-2002 06:01 AM).] |

It's no secret that I admired him from day one and still hold fond memories of the lessons learned from him and passing of the crown many many times. Beautifully penned tribute and one that is being read from the stars. |
