In Memory of a Musician

Sweep of the flowing
Red
On
Silken, glistening white

Music kicks up a
Snow storm
As if
And
As words settle
In our minds
And rhythm
Trots its way
Into our hearts
The musician
Departs…

Living behind soulful
Beats, melody and tears

Time burns
Ashes are consigned
To holy water
The passage to a valley
Becomes etched
In Memory
For ever!
