Goodbye Gail

(Dedication: For Gail Angel Doyle, who is leaving the PoetrySoup community.) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you go away, Let your heart be light; Go beyond this day, Live well your new sights. Purge all sad dismay, Let joy fund new flights; I read your wordplay, Glimpsed plain soulful writes. Follow then your heart: Listen well and heed; Each ending now starts Journey that you need. Purge all bitter gall As you now align Your sure, swift footfalls With an open mind. Your true heart must tell You like your best friend: This sure guide in-dwells To show yet fine trends. Then, from time to time Visit this our place: Write then a verse rhyme If your muse must trace! God bless your sure trip From now here to there; Observe rapture grip Your new joys somewhere. Each day we loiter In quick surge of writes; Each poet's pen triggers An impulse that cites... Leon Enriquez 21 July 2014 Singapore

Dear Jan: Thank you for your kind words. In my view, no matter how good or bad the situation here, people come and go. It's about how you feel, and when you need to move on. Yes a lot of poets have left, and then, a lot of new blood have come around. It's inevitable. That's my take. Leon
