in poems and song, just be

Scott Whitby, 2023

You were so knowing like

nothing I had seen, with

words I'd never heard even

in poems

then you became my friend

I battled with a lock then

you ajarred the door to

time and light, fragrance

and song

and peace evermore

I am bathed, getting

clean finally with

answers I always knew

I'm learning to think, not worry,

just be

For this, my thanks to you
