Listening to every heart

The Master Craft

Your ship has slipped its moorings
Just as you knew she could
Sailing on now with our darling
As we all knew you should;

And somewhere in the slip-streamed air
You are sailing the bluest seas
Your body whole, beyond compare
And it’s all you knew it would be.

We hear your voice upon ocean’s calm
Glance again at your words;
For they now give us unending balm,
Shaking our heads at the absurd.

The sea birds know, and glide toward light,
For what is to fear, when with Him?
They leave a feather, I hold it tight,
For He holds now, another tear’s gem.



~*~


In memory of
Michael Auguste,
For all that he gave,
And all that he will
Ever continue to give.


Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen?  Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises...

Karilea
You are the type of friend we all need..
A friend not only up to, but after the end..

A more beutiful tribute poem would be very hard to find, if one does indeed exist...

Thank you...

None could express our feelings more eloquently than you.  Yes,  he sails upon
a heavenly sea and his words remain in a
treasure chest for all to enjoy forever.
