What do we make
of a life
filtered through
poems,
through a
loving poet's eyes,

if only the soft
remembrance
of a life
buried in stanza
surfaces,

the whispering echoes
of what is left
and yet, what
survives?

Inspired by @tellio post, a path emerges from post to poem and on into song.

Things I Couldn't Keep

... a gift of music and solace and remembering for a good friend ...

Things I Couldn’t Keep (for Terry)
