For William

sleeping man
working man
looking back at us
sometimes wide eyed and mischievous
other times deep in troubled thought
we ought to look more
into those eyes
pen and ink and charcoal love created
at that story telling pose
portrait of one man and many
of us all.

  1. you see how this happens, robert, don't you?
    how we mirror one another,
    how we reflect,
    ask,
    and answer of one another.
    if only if only
    we were all open
    honest
    vulnerable
    and shed of harshness.
    what a world we would be.
    and for now
    we listen to
    and look to
    soft
    careful
    open
    and discerning
    men
    like you
    and william.

  2. Robert and Erin, I’m lucky to know you both. We haven’t been acquainted very long, but you already enrich my days immeasurably. Let my thanks to you be a light thing. Let it flutter like wash on the line. Let it be joy, and mischief, and melancholy. Let it be the wink of an eye. For I will blink, by and by....
