"tell me poets never die"



I read something today
tell me it is not so, that
a poet went home.
I know he is in a better place,
but still to never read the shadows of his face
in a new poem from his hand.
I read his poems when he was here
and today read some more, "lovely work" I say again,
it made me sad to read things he had done
before he went away
but made me happy to know he
had a good life while he was here creating in shades of blue.
I read today he made a visit to a grave yard to
touch the stones of those who had went before
him ,well it touch me so much so deeply.
I stand by my window tonight and look at a white
star and wonder where you are "poet"
just then I must have got my wish
i see you there in the sky this night painting pretty stars
in a poem of light, i know you will be allright,
thank you for the poetry you shared with us while
you were with us as a treasure more sweet then the
red rose
vines that grow near the garden of rhyme,
I will think of you often from time to time,
your words are divine.


good bye til we[all poets] meet again
