This made me cry. This was so gorgeous, so glamorously poetic - you gave death a whole new meaning. I joined the sophisticated artistisity of it, Joan herself would be proud. Thank you, my friend, for doing this finest tribute to a fellow friend, a wonderful poet, an artist. She deserved every word. May her rest peace, I am going to miss her greatly.
Thank you,
Hugs, EM

Comment from Debbie Pope
What a lovely tribute, Yvette. I particularly like your first line, but it is heartbreaking. Thank goodness for the hope that you leave us in your last stanza.
This was a kind and beautiful piece to write.

You've no where to move to? Talladega here you come. Seriously, are you moving back to Huntsville? You have had quite the year.

Want to stay 'in the country' just looking for a smaller rancher house (more land would be nice...)

Well good luck. Always something to worry about.

Safely, Softly into the Light
by Y. M. Roger
Hello, Yvette,
A beautiful tribute to Joan, she would love it and I am sure her husband will. I love the rhyme and metre of the poem....sounds like a sonnet to me but I am not an expert. Well done!

Wasn't really even going for a certain style, Marival, just a message... ;) :) Thanx so much for stopping by and appreciating it, my lady -- means a lot! ;) Take care out there on the coast! :) Yvette
Comment from BethShelby
This is beautifully written and it speaks to the footprints she left behind on her earthy journey. Now only did she leave the earthy joys behind but her pain and suffering as well, and not she rest in those everlasting arms which is the goal of the soul searching for a more permanent home.

I don't do 'sad' that well and see the positive and rejoicing side of the journey.... just who I am, Roy. :) :) Thanx for stopping by on this one, sir... yours inspired me, you know. Joan's testimony and smiles will certainly be missed over in my little corner of the universe...
Here's a big wish for surprises and sunshine in your sphere for the weekend ahead! ;) Yvette

Bless you Yvette
Comment from Susan X Smith
This is a lovely piece with engaging rhymes and near rhymes, although i noticed that the last stanza seemed to be more of a free verse. Thanks for sharing this one.

A lovely tribute to a wonderful lady. Beautiful worded and very touching. I didn't know her very well, but I liked her very much. My thoughts and prayers are with her family in this time of such grief.

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear yvette, what a wonderful tribute and memorial to Joan. She was one of my first fans, and we wrote reviews for each other most of my 1st year on FanStory.
I was so lucky to have been able to go To the Getty museum where she worked, only an half-hour's drive away from me.
Thank you so much for writing this!
I could have never written such a wonderful poem

Comment from Janice Canerdy
This is such a vividly descriptive, moving, poignant tribute to this gravely ill Fan Story poet. In such circumstances can but pray for a miracle, for He is a God of miracles.
