always to be whole Darren White


first may this day find you all well and safe
I am sorry that I have not responded to reviews
I know I am late once again
for those who know me I don't forget
and I will try to turn to your pages with honor

with this being said because I am heartbroken over Darren White
I felt compelled and needed to first write a tribute
the entry below is a dedication to
Darren White

years back Darren wrote a series
“the lost childhood” 
speaking of the little one

I was so moved beyond words
I asked for his permission and blessing
to write an entry dedicated to “the little one”
Darren immediately said yes so I posted a dedication

fast forward to today after learning of his passing
I like everyone else is heartbroken
it is my hope he is finally at peace mind body spirit
at peace and whole

Penguin I have no words
I will forever cherish
our communications mutual understandings and more
allow this entry to give flight and life to “the little one”

all the credit belongs to Darren himself 
and his extraordinary series
thank you all


“always to be whole”

once in life the sky falls
leading into a journey of unknown
unknown unwanted unaccepting
except there is no option to resist
how does one begin to comprehend
when comprehension is out of grasp
even through powers of the far and wide
for whispers of tides never reach me
they tell me hold on little one
for this you are not defined

days months years roll by
nightly wishing among the stars
they too tell me hold on little one
one day all will be revealed
I always answer back it couldn’t possibly
the why the why the why
gliding through air has ended
all I can do is recall the feeling
recall the sensation
recall the freedom

now the time for the final curtain 
once more I hear such whispers
hold on little one 
for this you are not defined
all will be revealed
you will once again glide through air
you will feel the sensation with vividness
you will experience peace and freedom
freedom that you little one so deserve
then now always

then as the sky fell
now as you transition
always to be whole

I was shocked when I was told; and filled with guilt because I had lost touch with him. You have a good heart Lisa; I hope you are well.

Dear lisa, this is such a thoughtful tribute, i pray that darren white would rest in peace, and your poem shows and describes your admiration not just for his poetry but also for him. I dont know him but i think this made me wish i did. Its never easy to find out the passing of some one we know in anyway. So i can empathize. Sending you light always

Paying tribute to a person like Darren comes easy to someone like you Lisa, who not only was close to him personally, but also to his poetry. Notwithstanding the drawbacks in life he never gave up. May he rest in eternal peace. ~ Regards // paul

Wow Lisa dear sky-watcher, what a phenomenal tribute to someone you respected liked and looked up to, a person close to your heart who has flown to a place unknown to man but who finds out once he crosses over., what it is all about. I am so sorry dearest friend, I know the grief and pain one feels and the pain one goes through, but from i have learnt about you through your poetry, I know you send messages via angels I know you send him messages via celestial beings high up in the heavens, messages transported by your heart, mind and your soul. Bless you Lisa you are an angel. Hugs and love, Jennifer

Great write Lisa. It has an element of the surreal. Nice imagery.
