R.I.P Dave King
The book is read, the pages turned
the cover holds fast and we are left
holding to the memories of one
whose words inspired
grieve but for a short while on
this friend that you have known
he wouldn’t want you lingering
for now he’s returned home
as we sit in deep thought ~ our
existence ~ of our own life, we
know how precious to take a
breath to give kind words ~ a *smile*
fleeting is our path on earth
friendships made along the way
just a little comment; encouragement
that truly made our day
and when the voice is no longer read
be it just for a short while
we take the time, we are concerned
are you okay? ~ we ask
the news of Dave’s passing
received when I awoke;
a writer, poet, a friend of many
his absence will be felt
sit back and read upon his words
and shed a silent tear, remembering
his world we shared ~ so he knows
that you are near
Rest in Peace fellow poet
we will think of you today
we shall *smile* at words you gave us
write with the Angels Dave

This was written in memory and in honor of Dave King who blogged at Pics and Poems . I heard of his passing this morning. Though I did not know him well or interacted with him. We have a loss and I wrote the above in tribute to a fellow poet and writer, that shared his talent on WP. Shared with dVerse.
