From Esker's last poem entry, october
He said was about a dog, but is indeed about us all.
and if we think
that death is rest
and final end
the one last breath
at least the life
of love thats lost
lives on in us
that lives and walks
and in the spirit
of exchange
that not replaces
but only gains
memory lives
of those remembered
then
for those who
feel the threshold
of the waves
that fall upon the
endless beach
like grains of sand
and precious
shells
while we be carried
in the hearts
when we too
take our time
and felled
by mortal hand
to rest upon
immensities
stand.

My heart felt condolences ma'am
Esker was the only one
amongst all my fans
who have been reading me
since ages
none is on my fan list
Esker was a fine poet
an Ottawa man
Canada will miss him
all must understand ..
May his soul rest in peace.
Amen!
