A Date with Milton

A Premiere Contest Trophy Winner
Death comes to all like a great shadow,
servant of reality when the truth of it sinks
in leaving the experience embedded on
one’s soul. Milt, given to remembrance
in his lifetime, moments flashing by, when
the congregation gathered to celebrate his
time on earth. But in the book of scrolls
winter is definite in which age must give way
to the new, one, he’d readily give for
the sprinkling of innocence created to start
life’s process all over again, with perpetual
regularity. He would, from behind the thin
veil of Ionna, bless and comfort the unfortunate,
the depressed, the lame of an earthly lifetime in
songs of praise. Leave a recipe for a foregone
conclusion. Auf wiedersehen, we will meet again!
My Tribute to Harry Horsman
Written by _this Poet
This poem of Harry's truly touches my heart and soul
when I first read it and still now and will always love it.
Now, Harry has 'left' us for Heaven above and we weep
his passing It was written in God's scrolls and what is
written can never be unwritten. But, still Harry I am
shattered at your passing and it is difficult to accept.
Harry, you can keep your date with Milton Hankins, your
friend and fellow poet who we lost not long ago.
This poem truly shows us Harry's skill in writing poetry
with feelings. I 'feel' his truth in each word. Yes Harry,
in life moments flash by and we never know when our
time will be done for 'death comes to all like a great
shadow.' Like you, I hope that I can give praise in song,
written words, and in actions for those less fortunate.
That, I can be kind and gentle, like you. And, that I can
be generous with comments and compliments. And can
write beautiful poetry. Oh Harry, I will miss you everyday
forever. Harry, look down from Heaven and see the love.
Rest In Peace, my poetic friend !
