always to be whole Darren White

first may this day find you all well and safe I am sorry that I have not responded to reviews I know I am late once again for those who know me I don't forget and I will try to turn to your pages with honor with this being said because I am heartbroken over Darren White I felt compelled and needed to first write a tribute the entry below is a dedication to Darren White years back Darren wrote a series “the lost childhood” speaking of the little one I was so moved beyond words I asked for his permission and blessing to write an entry dedicated to “the little one” Darren immediately said yes so I posted a dedication fast forward to today after learning of his passing I like everyone else is heartbroken it is my hope he is finally at peace mind body spirit at peace and whole Penguin I have no words I will forever cherish our communications mutual understandings and more allow this entry to give flight and life to “the little one” all the credit belongs to Darren himself and his extraordinary series thank you all “always to be whole” once in life the sky falls leading into a journey of unknown unknown unwanted unaccepting except there is no option to resist how does one begin to comprehend when comprehension is out of grasp even through powers of the far and wide for whispers of tides never reach me they tell me hold on little one for this you are not defined days months years roll by nightly wishing among the stars they too tell me hold on little one one day all will be revealed I always answer back it couldn’t possibly the why the why the why gliding through air has ended all I can do is recall the feeling recall the sensation recall the freedom now the time for the final curtain once more I hear such whispers hold on little one for this you are not defined all will be revealed you will once again glide through air you will feel the sensation with vividness you will experience peace and freedom freedom that you little one so deserve then now always then as the sky fell now as you transition always to be whole SkyWatcher 06-14-24

I was shocked when I was told; and filled with guilt because I had lost touch with him. You have a good heart Lisa; I hope you are well.

Dear lisa, this is such a thoughtful tribute, i pray that darren white would rest in peace, and your poem shows and describes your admiration not just for his poetry but also for him. I dont know him but i think this made me wish i did. Its never easy to find out the passing of some one we know in anyway. So i can empathize. Sending you light always

Paying tribute to a person like Darren comes easy to someone like you Lisa, who not only was close to him personally, but also to his poetry. Notwithstanding the drawbacks in life he never gave up. May he rest in eternal peace. ~ Regards // paul

Wow Lisa dear sky-watcher, what a phenomenal tribute to someone you respected liked and looked up to, a person close to your heart who has flown to a place unknown to man but who finds out once he crosses over., what it is all about. I am so sorry dearest friend, I know the grief and pain one feels and the pain one goes through, but from i have learnt about you through your poetry, I know you send messages via angels I know you send him messages via celestial beings high up in the heavens, messages transported by your heart, mind and your soul. Bless you Lisa you are an angel. Hugs and love, Jennifer

I'd heard of Darren but sadly I never knew him.

Good Morning Tom. Hello. Thank you for seeing this particular entry and for turning to my page. I still come and go as life still remains consumed. Darren was one of the first members to turn to my page and entries. We instantly had admiration for each other's works. He was extraordinary in my opinion and wrote of life and feeling that only he could. His "lost childhood" series truly touched me. I don't know if you knew of him. Thank you again Tom. May this day find you well. Peace and Blessings now and always. (smile)

Good Morning Frank. Thank you very much. Your comment and review is most generous. Darren will be missed as a poet and yes as a person. Have a wonderful day and thank you for seeing this particular entry. (smile)
