For Robin, in memory of Shane Gibson
Earth
and air.
Earth,
warm and bold
In
each smile
Each
goofball moment.
No
airs, no pretence
None
needed.
Air.
Aire. Music
Soaring
like air to the heights
And
beyond
Virtuoso
skill
Drawing
life, love, breath
From
taut strings.
Troubled
Apollo, crafting beauty
From
the ashes of your pain
Who
knew that your song
Would
be silenced so soon.
Lay your weary head down
Upon
your strings.
Earth
and air:
From
grief, from brokenness
Your
memory rises from the pyre
From
the fire
Like
a phoenix, evergreen.
