Mann’s Stand

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

Tuesday, December 30, 2003

Dedicated to one of the most genteel and gracious of poets I have known…Though its been months since I have heard from him last, I still pray that all is well and he shall continue to stand fast.

 “The Cycle Home”…”At The Gates”….”Life’s Last Waltz” and “Room Behind The Door”


 These are but a few of the splendid writes of a gracious Mann from my past.


His words have encouraged me; his trials and triumphs have shown unto to me,


the power that his spirit of compassion possesses, and the integrity he has to make it last.


His words ring so true , with poems so fine, for they have an amazing power and fortitude.


He speaks often of his past, and his tales are interwoven with wisdoms of the sages.


His voice is kind, and his demeanor is that of a humble soul. With the spirit of amazing grace…blessed be the day and how great thou art, for this Mann is my friend, who speaks freely from the heart.


  He has, and always will carry high the torch, and no matter how hard his day, and with disregard for his pain, he will endeavor to fulfill his part in this life’s great screenplay. So how can I say this any other way, except Charlie my friend, though we be a continent apart… You…..


Yes for you…I will always pray. So where ever you are my kind soul and friend, always know…I am watching your back…on this end.


 So take care my friend….and Gods speed and grace to you, for whatever becomes of our lives…I J. Allen Wilson…will always with fondness of heart…remember you.


Take Care Charlie Mann…Take Care and forever in your towering strength…STAND.

What a beautiful tribute to one of my dearest friends. You have truly captured the essence of Charlie. A more gentle soul one couldn't possibly meet. And a man with a heart of gold.

Namaste'

J.Allen I'm stunned! This is such a glowing tribute to a fine man, and if he is the same Charlie Mann that is my good friend, I'm 100% in agreement. We are in touch quite often, so please let me know if it's the Charles Mann that is still here as a member on AD.He hardly posts anymore but has about 2 months ago, lives here in California...
