And Yes
You were so gentle
So simple, and Yes
There were dreams
Untainted by history...

And Yes
You were not so grounded
In reality
You stepped lightly
And your eyes were wide with surprise...

And Yes
You had no names for things
In those fleeting days
When you tried to step clear
Untouched for a day by fear...

And Yes
The chains were momentarily
Broken and you labeled nothing
Each moment revealed it's new name...

And Yes
You were fearful and playfully
Original now your writings
Have fallen into cliche
Lauded by your gathered
Collusion of mediocrity.

Oh my that was wonderful expressed...beautiful J.
