On Orion

Out for dinner tonight
with my beautiful daughter
and walking down the path
looking up
the stars were crisp
lite with dynamite

I remembered a poem
written in December 1993 for an old friend

On Orion

The passing of this time
some grieving for a loss
Suspend the moment
in my heart
for years to come
and days gone by
A tear
is swept
down the waterfall
that night,
Singing streams
below
and our dreams
in the stars
I wish
on this night
to kiss
the tears
in the water
and smile at
our shadows on
Orion
