I still miss

The joy of reading your lines 

The kindness in your mind 

Always truth in your wise 

Always one of a kind 

seeing it  through your eyes 

Seeing your acceptance of mine 

Your intolerance for lies 

Your patience and time 

Incredible verse 

Indelible and diverse 

Loving the support 

Loving the retorts 

Great humour 

Great gall 

Big rumours

Big rides 

The gaps in in our pages are wide 

The poetry was devine 

I hear your whispers in my mind 

I hear you, and I know your fine 

What I miss, I still miss it all!

What I wouldn't give to speak to you 

One more  time 

One last time.

 

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To one if the greatest postpomies that ever lived 

Along with Daniel 59

And so many that have passed 

She was Stellar and she still is! 

Miss you deeply.

Joining you in your deeply

Joining you in your deeply moving, strikingly fitting and precisely tailored tribute to a precious cornerstone who can never be replaced. I love how you lyrically captured all those characteristic traits we came to know and love: kindness, wisdom, "intolerance for lies", patience, generosity, her support, honest retorts, humor, gall . . .

 

It was all her and all precious: "Always one of a kind".

 

This clever, crushing and beautifully authentic remembrance is a bittersweet experience, and I feel every word, especially the wish to say just a few more words "One more  time/ One last time."

 

This had to be written. Getting choked up over here.
