Daniel was a poet of immense talent. I was in total shock when Bharati had announced that he had died. Before his death, I had been blessed and honoured to be working with him on a book of poetry. That was indeed one of the highlights in my life!

To know that this is his last poem published on this site is a bitter testament. Those last lines are haunting in their an epilogue to the life of a great and caring man. May your soul dance in another realm.

disappears into invisibility. And I am at peace, even though peace is a chamber of existence that beats faintly, until a great metaphysical Hand attached to no shoulder slips into our dimension and rescues the spirit, if not the flesh, of things.

Brother Daniel, interesting to read this when I've been thinking, along with what Jesus says in John 12, of losing one's life to gain it, dying to live, following Jesus wherever he leads. This has made me think, the way is in a person, life in a person, truth in a person, the person being... -Glen
