to let one fly

the silence that surrounds us,
your earth body lay still
yet your power so strong
to still hear words, songs you wrote
to have mouths of others sing them

your message stares us blankly to the tip of our face
Peace, Love, Foundation and Family
we not only understand your words
we recite them
we deliver them
we live them

you empowered us
you moved us higher
your faith in our abilities made us believe we can

your faith too strong for your body
your message too big for your lips
you delivered to us a gift
one we will hold onto
and pass along to any open ear

you left us to start a new mission
one that needed you more than we
left us with poems and prayers of lyrics
to guide us safely through

you wrote to us almost knowingly
your suspicions exact as to what was to come
your exit not so smooth
many questions left unanswered
perhaps your way to show us our own strength,
so we could understand that we had it in us

your light stays burning strong and bright
my dear friend,
never to fade out of sight

pure light to fill our souls
you are a good friend

all love, all the time!
