(for Neil Gelvin)
I hope you left this world
as seamlessly as your fingers danced
on the neck of your guitar,
string to string, fret to fret,
sliding from one song into another.
I hope you find yourself on a new stage,
a heavenly hay wagon, perhaps,
playing the song from which all songs come,
the song of being.
I hope you know the song you left for us
like the song of a migrating meadowlark,
sung in a field of blazing stars and prairie smoke
rests in the nests of our hearts.
Feel free to pass this on to anyone
