In May of this year a talented poet and compassionate woman passed away after a long illness....her name was Jennifer Sloan....also known as Ravyn......over the year I had read much of her life's story documented in poetry and prose and admired her continued courage . . .
other than commenting on her poetry I really did not have any other conversations with her ....until opinions in a discussion forum came up that were unsettling to me . . . it was at this point that Jenn comforted me . . . near the end of her life and having time for me . . . this time given unselfishly...the reassuring words and understanding will always be my lasting immpression of the Ravyn........

~ Ravyn's Impression~

For one brief moment
The Ravyn perched upon my shoulder
And paused with me in a shadow
That lay across both our paths . . .  
Comtemplating the view
Behind us and to that which lay ahead.
Just a single footfall of my time
To be released to the wind,
And remembered for the gentle
Brush of her feathers against my tears.


Thank you again Jenn.
