Notes About The Poem

To our dear mate Darren White.

Duir: a Collaboration With Space Cadet:

The closest bottle is always true.
Wordsmiths say poets are a peculiar breed,
To them, I say poetry is not your mead.

Duir, night is not blue.
We reach to the seas and across skies,
While talking to a bartender in the tides.


Duir, you give us the option to pursue,
And words to reach more than one heart.
We're grateful from the very start.


Lilac wine awaits you.
As a marble table holds The Tao you've read.
Recover soft in your crimson covers.
We'll be here with your song sung for others.

I forgot to add that you two write wonderfully together... It complements seamlessly. Knowing you both well, I THINK I know who wrote what, but that's unimportant.

Ah, such a sentimental yet very sweet drink you offer here, WW. The love and the tenderness is felt w/each word flowing from your artistic pen. Beautiful poetry, my friend. Love and peace to you.
