His loud laugh
carried
weak jokes on high
His great laugh
lifted heartships
with lovetide.
His joy so strong
pulled
little lamblings along.
His sweet words surrounded
by his booming voice song
(to John C Lehman Jr)
YOKED IN SAME CANOE
In another life
together they
carried the canoe
in portage
.. she thought then
he stopped
too often for
porridge
SPIRIT HAS ALL KEYS
Where earth barriers
have blocked and barred
admitted is the laugher
admitted is the bard
