MEMORIAL TRIBUTE FOR OUR DEARLY MISSED MODERATOR AND POET MICHAEL JAMES GARLAND.

Si longtemps pour maintenant, cher poète...

(So long for now, dear poet...)

~

I'll say so long, dearest poet

but never good bye

For your words, like your spirit

are immortal, divine

Your presence, your warmth

so very missed

In the quiet, the void

created with your absence

A joy to all who knew you

and were lucky enough

to call you "friend"

That love and admiration

carries on, dear Michael

and will never end

From our minds and hearts

Your words, your essence

will never part...
