Write by the Rails

a poem of appreciation

Here’s to you, my colleagues, my friends,
My companion toilers in silence and solitude,
In appreciation for a shared vision
A shared divine madness
For this most peculiar enterprise.
For times and ideas shared
For afternoons spent talking at tables
For nods of comprehension
And smiles of recognition
Stories shared, pasts remembered
Futures imagined
We who are so different
Who animate our singular kingdoms
Of the mind and heart
And yet who move in a great swell
Together forward.
Forward.

    Dan, what an honor to have you be part of this group! And what a tribute! Thank you.

  4. Thank you Nancy and thank you, Katherine. I had you both in mind when I wrote the poem, which is fitting since I met both of you in person at the same time!
