One poem by Sheila E. Murphy<br />
Preface: I admired <strong>Felino</strong> <strong>Soriano</strong>’s spirit and his life, always sensing from his work a presence that<br />
revealed a refined spirit living deeply and honoring poetry as a constant commitment. He is deeply missed<br />
and deeply here.<br />
Reveal<br />
for <strong>Felino</strong> <strong>Soriano</strong><br />
The difference between travel<br />
and arrival is desire.<br />
Calculate the distance<br />
from your quiet to this place<br />
where I have invested a full hour<br />
erasing years of dross<br />
that I might hear you.<br />
How apart from words to recognize your voice?<br />
Depth unmeasured tempts perception<br />
of a difference<br />
between this and not this.<br />
Trust the question.<br />
Answer what is infinite as replication<br />
sorts what we admire,<br />
absorb,<br />
endure<br />
to reach a state of grace<br />
between the lines aspiring to transcendence.
