…Loves Gone Friends Gone…
Toned-Tinctures Tuning the Blue of the Sky
Many Family and Folks-On-The-Fly
Missing Passed-On in the Great-Bye&Bye
Obits Say Their Sage on Many-A-Page
What’s not Gone from Passage
Is lots of Time Now — Alone —
That Rhymes not yet with Gone
So…Pacing new Tones of Bone
Stomping Footnotes Past Irrelevancy
Through It — Improv Around It–
Everywhere Go-Get-A-Leg-Up-On-It…
You can See It in their Faces
Feel the Spaces in their Graces
Even a Lessening in the Blessening
So…You Know Something’s Going-On
That’s figured Life’s Going-On
Without You in the Somewhere Soon
So…Living past Irrelevancy with some Boon
Increasing Resiliency midst Irrelevancy
Means Reaching Deep in the Hat
For one more Wiggly Rabbit or Cat
Colorful Scarf or two — maybe Doggie
Maybe some Applause before the Curtain
Relevantly drops for Certain
But not before Rapturous Beauty
Kisses that Frog again to Wake-It-Up
And the Old Croaker Jumps Its Pucker-Up
Romancing Rainbows in the Giddy-Up
Till Time Gongs Some Timely Croak-It-Up
Where — Through–Rhymes with — Dew
Old with Ode — OneAloneGone — Hi with Bye…
Toned-Tinctures Tuning the Blue of the Sky…
