Poem
"ode to Marina" as its been awhile I thought of saying hello and reminisce of how it all began years ago filling in for a coworker who would later fill in for me you placed a call such is the initial encounter that started the journey involving many talks to follow unknown to me saturday night now brought on a new significance and essence for you had strength and courage to call once again not knowing it would be me I remember the initial call and the saturday night rings surrounding your next calls I told you then as I would tell you now I am not a doctor and would never mislead you weren't looking for a doctor and all you needed was to talk to someone new saying hello today I recall our path your name your story along with your great pain always were you thankful for our visits by phone time after time and call after call it is I who am thankful for the outcry and trust you placed in me week after week since leaving my post I relive saturday nights and the scene surrounding our calls I truly hope you understood when I told you our connection had to come to an end you wanted to meet face to face but it was and is unwise for such a happening to be my wish is that you came to terms with pain and grief and now recognize your worth your life and being was and is there you just needed to look beyond all the suffering thinking of when that initial call came through with you on the other end my thought is I will never forget you or those saturday nights and the scene surrounding our calls SkyWatcher - 03-01-17 This entry is a tribute to a person I shall name Marina For her protection I can not expand upon the story to give clarification Just know this is a tribute entry and thank you
