I wrote this about artistic inspiration. I am inspired by so many. The folks I invoke here have played a special part recently and for many memorable parts in my life.

Forever I remember your name

Your vision

And wishes

No one will ever be the same

Your voice and words are so delicious

Bringing Health

and Courage

and Joy

*

I’m here

and listen for more

Imagining life in peace

The world is at the door

And through a certain slant of light

Yours is the only promise we need

*

As we trade our hours for dimes

Your spirit

Feeling and kind soul

Turn dark days into beautiful times

Weave notes and words into hours mindful

Sharing wellness

Ethics and passion

*

I’m here and listen for more

Way beyond yesterday

The future is at the door

Sent direct

Today is the messenger

Yours is the only promise we need

*

John Lennon and Jim Morrison

One day I’ll make a name for myself

Being true to my nature and fighting for causes

No talent will do the same as

Our Incredible losses

But others share powerful music

Our enduring heart crosses

Bif Naked and The Tea Party band

Working miracles for today’s many bosses🇨🇦

*

The old man down the road

could see the River bending

And in a moment of weakness

gave his soul to the

Commotion

Of all the kaleidoscopes

the best I’ve seen is in

Experimental cost

Focused on wellness

No matter what

And

Free for

Many hours we share together

Loving on

This crystal ship
