It is with a heavy heart I share with you the passing of our friend and poet, Sue Vincent. Sue was a pillar in our poetic community, always ready to jump into a poetry challenge. And, most importantly, she was always there to offer a kind word of encouragement.Through the years, I’d come to love her Midnight Haiku, and other writings about England, a place dear to my heart.
In her honor, I share a double Etheree poem Sue wrote a few years ago that I keep on my desk. This poem is the true essence of Sue’s spirit. May the faeries help her find her way to the other side so that she may find peace. Thanks for being part of our journey. ❤
pure nature walked lightly by those who see untrammeled beauty following the pattern crafted by the architect even the smallest has its place in the endless cycle of being an unbroken chain of relationships from the feral claw of the predator to the cooing of the mourning dove from mountaintop to ocean's depth each life a star to guide us towards understanding eye to eye mirrored we see ourselves in the dance living free ©2019 Sue Vincent

Such a loss is irreparable but poets, singers and actors immortalize themselves through their work Colleen. Whenever we miss them, we return to their poetry or songs to keep them alive. I always feel my favorite singers are alive when I listen to their songs.
