when footsteps fall
in sorrowful ears.

"Nicely done! Like the "least expect to expect it" line. Grief is like that, coming for visits unexpectedly, and often in waves. Best" -

"that Jess would have thought this quite funny. I know he didn't believe in an after-life, but I think that he was wrong. I do believe that so long as someone remembers, he will live! Nicely done. ~ Geez. ." -

To A Dead Poet
"I don't think I can come up with a fav poem of Steven's because for me, it's the immediate interaction of his poetry in the moment of our meeting on the page that made the relationship of poem to poet and poet to poet so precious" - August 2017

A Pigeon Speaks @ Robert E. Lee Park
""No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion...People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love...For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite." ~ Nelson Mandela" -
