    Poem Commentary

    How  the hope of friendship lingers in the heart who has not one, and the thought of leaving this world completelt alone is not a frightning as it sounds. "Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"

    To Whisper A Name

    To Whisper A Name: Drew Lancaster


    I believe I would be ready

    Should fate take me away

    This disease and illness lingers

    Only one more task remains


    Hoping my strength can hold

    The burden heart and mind endure

    Seeking a friend whose name

    I shall whisper till death secures


    The task has proven lengthy

    Many too false too know

    I see only empty eyes

    A lost soul in a lovers disquise


    So waiting is my demise

    I fear the product one fashions

    Claim a name for ill gotten gain

    Lonely paid full a debt in isolation


    Will be fine by me

    My imaginary friend

    As death takes us all

    What gains a whispered name in the end

    An incredible journey of heart rending sadness, seeming to end in resolved acceptance...A well written & moving piece of work!

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
