Notes About The Poem

In memory of Harry Horsman

Tributes To Harry Horsman

Harry, your words were moving
emotions and imagery so approving.

Death does come to all with the last breath flow,
we refuse to accept the void shadow go.

Your life's process anew all over again
to sit with the king among men.

You leave us with a remembrance of your soul.
We will meet again! In God's control. 

5/24/2023

In our hearts you will always reside, and your poems will live on my friend.
~
A Date with Milton  

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!

Thank you for putting into poetry, the thoughts many of us are having now that Harry as left us. I enjoyed following his poetry and replying to many of his poems. He was always a gentleman in his replies to our poetry. God bless his soul, Bill

Great tributes. One a eulogy to Harry, a dear friend whom I followed. He will be missed. The other is a tribute by Harry to Milton. So many great poets we are losing. Hugs, Eve.
