Deep Green Garden Tops

Seen from Heaven's light

I close my eyes and see deep green garden tops

With light butterflies behind my lids and

I can feel the muses of a century

Wailing in unison

Many moons not in existence now

Forever in the light

It's better

There is great comfort in a nod

Between a feeling and a well-worn shirt

Starlets in the dream

In between the seams of knowing

The streams of muses of tomorrows

Because one day we all get there

But don't hurry the plot of reasoning

Because reason never holds the keeper

of light

Oh, finest night in welcome flight

To free the feet above a thinking heart

A sleep for Mrs. and

A broken heart that cried so hard

To meet the skies so see her

Eternal light now embracing two souls

The students and the muses wail in unison

Dedicated to Ray Robinson, Artist, my teacher, mentor, and friend, and to the loveliest Brenda Robinson. The world doesn't make a class of men like him anymore, a perfect gentleman. In all my years of different studies, there is not a teacher that left a more indelible impression on his students. We adored him. Heartbroken.
