I have no words right now.  So, I have re-posted my collaboration with Winged Warrior.  God Bless him.

Balconies From Afar In a view from the balcony, above the aquamarine sea All the gifts of creation are unwrapped, like bark on a birch tree Where the strength of the soul is exposed to salt air, screaming in the sun Look what exists from love, in each drop of water, it has begun For the eternities stain the sacred sands of theistic time Of viewing the celestial bodies that rupture with rhythmic rhyme Admits shimmering stars that drip with love on a hot summers day Thus our spirit sails to shores of heaven botanical ballet For the splitting minutes that pass us by, in which we may forget While the tide’s forces pull us like the spinning reel of a cassette Our hearts pulsate with all the sparkling rivers flowing into one What started as love is a chosen final dance, when we are done As the moon and earth tango within the midnight ambient air Our souls collaboratively collide through a falsetto flare Then love shed its lucid layers amongst the empyreal abyss The infinite skies await from balconies afar, a first kiss Heidi Sands and Winged Warrior 6/14/18 Copyright © Heidi Sands | Year Posted 2018 Balconies From Afar In a view from the balcony, above the aquamarine sea All the gifts of creation are unwrapped, like bark on a birch tree Where the strength of the soul is exposed to salt air, screaming in the sun Look what exists from love, in each drop of water, it has begun For the eternities stain the sacred sands of theistic time Of viewing the celestial bodies that rupture with rhythmic rhyme Admits shimmering stars that drip with love on a hot summers day Thus our spirit sails to shores of heaven botanical ballet For the splitting minutes that pass us by, in which we may forget While the tide’s forces pull us like the spinning reel of a cassette Our hearts pulsate with all the sparkling rivers flowing into one What started as love is a chosen final dance, when we are done As the moon and earth tango within the midnight ambient air Our souls collaboratively collide through a falsetto flare Then love shed its lucid layers amongst the empyreal abyss The infinite skies await from balconies afar, a first kiss Heidi Sands and Winged Warrior 6/14/18 Copyright © Heidi Sands | Year Posted 2018 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It has hit a lot of people hard, I had also messaged him. I can understand why he kept it to himself, as he did not want to worry anyone.. May he rest in peace.

Silent One I am shocked and this is really hitting me hard! He told me he had an ongoing cold, then thought allergies? I didn't see him around and sent him soup mail to ask if he is ok and I never got an answer. Then I was really busy. I checked in yesterday and found out. He is a brilliant poet and a kind friend!

What you've done speaks volumes Heidi and a reminder to us what a great poet he was. Tom
