Life
Prime of life, you faced death;
Haunted I am -- why not me
I wish to take your place, Brother John
Let me wake you up, please continue your journey
Losing you on Earth, I hope to see you in Heaven
If I am blessed to follow your footprints: love and kindness
Poetry inadequately praises the grandeur of your soul
Silence, in silence, you and I communicate -- oneness…

On the first anniversary of your passing away,
John, your love for my poetry keeps me feeling alive each day...
