2013 … A final farewell for Fred
And then in October of that same year my dear Friend Fred Lansford peacefully passed onward, and I was blessed to release the recordings of him reading his own poetry (that we had taped together the summer before) – a few of which were able to be heard at his memorial service shortly thereafter (and all of which still able to be heard via my Youtube channel)…
“By that force that in me breathes to know one wiser hour,
so higher thought with love bequeaths a waft from wisdom’s flower,
that we may see all faults of Man as nothing more than needs
we might help fill within our span of history’s growing seeds.
For there is that in every Man his heart would have him do
to fit within some Master Plan a crafted form so true,
that he might then so interlace and share with all the rest
that something more than commonplace that he of all does best.” ~ Fred Lansford
