everything grows poignantly beautiful

in the dimming light
only a candle’s throw
from dawn’s lighting early
here comes the sun
some will know it not
having left on an air
we remember for whom
and how so loved

astronomically numbered
somehowwhat’sitferall
find kith and kin
magic or happenstance
tropical mist or desert rain

we miss you dear angels
even as you miss sun
rise
over hill, over dale
we’re still on
ye ol’ dusty trail
and we’re ok cause yer ok+
more – we still hope

the Unbeliever says…
no, i won’t say/tell
if you look for him
look on the side ways
