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.
Great a poem from a talented poet. It is loss to humanity that Daniel is no more
This is one of his last poems. He will be remembered for his poetic skills and articulate comments.
"Don't call my name yet"… spontaneous and incessant flow of words and ideas makes this poem top rated
Great Poets write spontaneously sans thinking ahead of the word by word. Magnificent, dear late great Poet, I am sure you will read my comment from your resident. Thank YOU! Myriad Stars!
The wonder and beauty of spontaneity shine in this gem; incredibly good poem.
I am not ready to carry the weight of my life, I promise to live for others...such great people are noble souls. You are not with us but your invaluable creations have made you immortal.
In the style of Kerouac. He would be proud. Such excellent spontaneous writing may be your forte. As always, I really enjoyed your writing.
Brilliant write! We are all but a heartbeat away from invisibility, though hopefully many heartbeats away

Wow a great poetic plea and prayerful poem. It seems to be about saving and extending lifespan. Plz do read and comment my newest poem too titled, 'A recount.. of pandemic lockdowns worldwide
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
I dropped into PH to read a poem by you and a few other favorites. You are a master of a writer
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!
