How dare you leave us with conversations undone with laughter unfinished. How dare you leave without a goodbye, a warm embrace your infectious smile your brash and bold attack on life injustices. How dare you leave us.
How dare you leave us amidst your August flowers as the trees announce your passing summer pained but full of promise as we awaited another winter song. How dare you leave us amidst sad songs that were diminished by the remembrance of joys you brought into our lives which now allow us to look at your picture and your smiling eyes and whisper a soft thank you for the time we were allowed to share with you. Goodbye is unnecessary as you will live with us forever in memory.

How wonderful you had someone so special in your lives. They do live through us, a testiment to their enduring wisdom. "Passing it on" is the greatest tribute we give.
Inspirational poetry, written from the heart and soul. Verses that are well-suited for reading on a rainy day and that are guaranteed to bring a smile to your face.
In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
