Goodbyes
We often speak of community building here at Neopoet. A community of poets, we are human beings needing the company and feedback of kindred spirits; sometimes with great aplomb, sometimes with varying degrees of rancor. We do reach for the stars and in a moment's brilliance, we transcend the terrible reality of being alone for a few minutes. We connect on a human level. In so doing we touch one another in ways we may never know.
We are shooting stars, glimpsed in fear and awe, in love and friendship. We are continually reminded of this, no less so than this
coming and going...
It is a sad day indeed when one of us decides to leave and removes all traces of our presence: Poems, dialog, bits and pieces
of our unique, manifestation: our spirit of individuality, the words we have made flesh.
It has been said one can't step into the same river twice... how true.
May all beings be free of suffering.
Metta,
Anna Ruiz/Kailashana
