Does He Live ?

------------------------------He died August 25,1971 7:14 P.M. Hiding in his mountain retreat; he escapes- Into a fantasy world of a future life Pretending to be a POET an illusion : untrue Dreaming the same dream over an over again The vivid nightmare of his past keeps on living Disguised as a silhouette in the shadow of life Presumed he has a loving heart: yet has no heart at all At night the incubi haunt ; torture his dying soul What is Life, friendship, Love he does not know In his reverie he awakes in Eternity with his Love L E N O R E by his side : Amen

If you had "no heart," you could not convey such passion and longing. This great poem tugs at my heart. I know it has been difficult for you to move on, HG, but I pray love will find you again someday. Love, Carolyn
