Tribute to Sagasha
As you say Good-bye.....on this day 11/02/03
Sagasha...a friend to all
gentle with words, yet so powerful an impact upon our lives.
A giving soul
A man of his word
May your wings continue to take you to places that will comfort your soul as you did mine."
Pearl,M.S. 11/02/03
(A Poem inspired by your Kindness towards Blu and I.)
HUMMING BIRD
In amazement I watched the magnificent ability the Humming Bird displays
As he hovers over the flowers our very hands nurtured over time.
A sense of tranquility and pleasure surrounds me.
So it is you have enriched my soul.
As the Humming Bird focuses on the task at hand
Positioning its beak so precisely on the beautiful purple Princess flower
Sucking its nectar, it gracefully flows over to the velvet strands of Sage.
So it is you have enlightened me.
As the Humming Bird moves about its tedious task, it is oblivious
About the tremendous speed his wings flap, and the effort it takes
Its wings create music and his movements
Are like that of an orchestra conductor, directing musicians playing music
That captures the very essence of our being.
So it is you build confidence in me to spread my wings and fly like a free bird.
You have guided me to reach heights and face challenges
That otherwise would have seemed insurmountable
Yet, your patience, kindness and caring
Are the sources of the strength you have shared with me.
As the Humming Bird pollinates the many flowers
So your love and caring is spread as I walk my various paths.

Image of a Face Unknown
Steadfast, Dependable, Trustworthy
You heard my cry
You felt my pain
Complex, Intriguing, Comforting
You have come to know me well
Without words unspoken
Solitude not by choice
You saw my reflection
A path you have mastered
Intense, all Encompassing,
You give direction
Your smile sheds forth light
Who is this Image
Boundaries you have never crossed
Your presence causes inner strength
As immense as the Universe
Your kindness has showered us all
Your shadow I shall always feel
Imagery of my friend
A face Unknown
A silent Voice

TREE AMONG A FOREST
(SHORT VERSION)
Visionary
Mentor
Compassionate
Understanding
Support when storms hit
A smile you shared when our days and nights seemed
endless.
Seeds of love you planted that gave forth a luscious
forest, its tree branches provide shade and a serene
place that became our abode.
Streams echoed melodic sounds, the sounds of loving
voices, as the sound of water flowing over soft, colorful
river rocks.
A soothing to our souls is the beauty of all those we came to know and love in our newfound haven of safety, tbichat, a place you provide for all those that yearn to be understood and to flourish.
“Image of my friend”
A friend to many
A peer,

TREE AMONG A FOREST
(Long Version)
Joy of Being. Expressions of gratitude flow freely as
I continue on my newfound Journey of Life.
Bridges I have crossed and as I ponder, I see not the
sadness of a friend left behind, rather I treasure the
footprints of impressions left by you that became
imbedded in my heart as I reflect the beauty of your
soul.
At times the brevity of your expressions makes one
ponder, however you discerned my thoughts and captured the
essence of my Being.
A man of few words, yet your words of encouragement,
enables one to look deep within, causing a refinement
of our soul.
An extension of your being is felt and rekindles
within us deep seeded emotions of compassion and
understanding.
Sharing with you treasured moments we experienced as we
Travel in our journey causes joy and contentment knowing you have watched us refine our skills.
As I continue on my path and cross bridges, the experience compares in thought and purpose to the bridges that Monet had in his gardens.
Gardens and bridges he not only painted but sought
comfort and serenity in solitude that soothed his soul.
So is the calm that befalls me, as I venture now to
paths that keep opening with beautiful surrounding,
and newfound friends.
You are indeed the energy that flows thru many
that have come to know of your kindness and
thoughtfulness.
As I stand in my own garden, words and thoughts that
come to mind in times of solitude, define the beauty
of your soul:
Visionary
Mentor
Compassionate
Understanding
Support when storms hit
A smile you shared when our days and nights seemed
endless.
Seeds of love you planted that gave forth a luscious forest,
Branches provide shade and a serene place that became our abode.
Streams echo melodic sounds, the sounds of loving voices as the water flows over soft, colorful river rocks.
A friend to many
“Image of my friend”
Your dedication and perseverance is the core of the
many qualities you possess and share.
A haven of safety, an abode, you provide for us.
Its creation or embryonic stage grew as all that
contributed towards making it what it is now,
Home among peers, Tbihome.org.
We have come to know, respect, and admire all those
that became integral parts of our Journey of Life post
TBI/ABI.
Thus we have reaped understanding in our journey of survival, thru effort, dedication and devotion, along with tools that cultivated the soil where your seeds of love became fertile and thus reaping its fruitage.
Though many of our peers have gone to venture into other paths,
all became cornerstones in our foundation that was reinforced once we accepted our new way of being, rebuilding our life post brain injury.
Their courage and strength we carry within us as they stood alongside us when we sought answers and comfort as we faced the realities
of life with brain injuries of loved ones.
So it was I came to know my friend
“Image of A Face Unknown”
At times it seemed as if we stood at the edge of a cliff.
Cliffs we all once peered over to see the valley and
rivers below, yet it was those familiar cliffs, where we took to
flight to find our own fertile grounds to carry seeds that would germinate in hearts, nurturing the friendships gained and discovering new horizons.
As the winds carry seeds that germinate beneath the stature of the trees in a forest,
So it is your love and caring opened new paths for us to venture.
As birds pollinate the flowers, that bloom in the spring and blanket fields with beauty, color and variety,
So is the beauty of your soul.

My friend,
