My poem could never be as beautiful as your light but now you are at peace with all spirits in flight.
Only meeting you once for less than 24 hours, asking to play my guitar you dazzled my ears in delight, yet made my eyes sprinkle with words of your mother in the sky.
We chatted over tea and it was clear to see, your life had already been pretty colourful indeed. Each sharing our sorrows from where it was lost, looking to the next journey to keep any darkness off.
Years had passed on and I find your picture added to the memories of souls not forgotten, although your story needs knowing to try keep others from being unable to pull off that crocked path.
Hidden away in a room drinking, while still able to pull it together and help others. Your wounds ran so deep that even your closest friends are left wondering if there was more they could of done, although nothing can enter what we want to keep boarded up.
That piece of history that love can not let go off, and I hope whatever it was your now a part of.
This life can truly be a dream or a nightmare and no matter how many beautiful souls we have around us, there's a balloon that fills up and when it's ready to go it's ready to go.
I'll thank the stars every night for the part you played in mine, thankful to of helped yours enough to now be home safe at last.

Dan t.his is a truly wonderful piece, A touching tribute to a soul who touched you.
There are so many wonderful people out there if only we could see their aura as we pass among them.
It was a shock but yet not so much, alcohol takes many of us to soon.... or maybe not as none should suffer in silence.
As always thank you for your energy I find calming, to help remind me not to go to deep.
Cheers buddy
A poignant write Dan.
Appreciated my good friend, she is at peace.
Dear Dan,
A beautifully penned tribute for your friend. Her suffering has ended. May she now Rest In Peace.🙏🏻❤️

A wonderful tribute for a soul who so obviously touched your life. May she live on in your memory.....a beautiful write, Dan!
Thank you my friend, she was a force ill never forget.
So gracious! Sorry for your loss! But sometimes those short encounters leave grand impacts on us, for better. Great poem!
I didn't know it until now but it really did and I'll make sure it continues.
Thank you so much for your time
There are those people who seem to transcend earthly boundaries while they are here, and when they are gone leave a shining trail behind them. Loss is pain, but memories can be the balm. A beautiful, heartfelt piece.
Memories are the balm, what a beautiful line and thank you so much for your time.
Much peace and respect
Such a wonderful tribute to that lady Dan, she will always be in your memories.

Absolutely Andy, now part of my every beat!
'we must cherish
those fateful encounters in our lives
for, from the thousands
that cross our life's path
we're lucky
to have, but a handful few
tattoo their presence
in our memories and heart's...'
may she rest in peace
(what a beautiful eulogy you've penned, brother
what a way to utilise your wonderful gift, dear Poet)
You know it my friend and loved the tattoos as I couldn't get them to leave if I wanted too!
I was honoured when her best friend said she would like to read it, the words just kept coming until I'd written them out...
Really appreciate your support
this is far more than just a poem Dan, it is a prayer, a song & a splendid dedication & tribute to someone who once shone briefly and bright, not only your life, but I imagine in so many other peoples lives also ... Neville
Thank you my friend she definitely made a mark and really appreciate your time and kind words.
