..a life to be remembered

The horse came back alone
over the morning hills of some
hushed and tranquil Texas town,
no longer bearing you, its master..
missing the guidance of your hand
nudging it into homecoming..
wondering perhaps, why you had stayed behind-
why you had fallen so soft
and sudden to earth..
wordless in the wet grass.
A moment before, you had ridden over like the wind,
surveying your green valley as ever with love.
Down the smokey air, a calling..
hushing you high and hearted in a cloud..
cradling you away from your valley and your city..
from brisk tenements, darkly swarming with weary life
and sibling streams.. and hedges brimming with song.
You knew and celebrated with conjoined agony and affection,
that sudden whisper on the wind
With rain and growing things of earth
brethren to you in that last union,
that would sing you proud into peace
and from a turbulent life..
yet with blunt sensitivity of one
and trading not with images but imperatives
in one rush of zealous possesion,
that stole your breath past stream and pavement
in that moment out of time that finds you now deceased,
small and alone.
_____
You were solicitous of mute mayhem..
crashing through lives with healing;
..your staunch words, flashing into minds.
Cramped and closeted in grey continuity of office..
an MD to the anonymous, poor and maimed..
loud with tenderness for broken things..
making strength and ethics, "Belief"
out of those deep unsaid sorrows of your life,
vain and strong and innocent of malice,
beautiful in the last and only sense.
Friend of friends
and seer of my sapling years,
I would not feel your absence as pain...
..knowledge of love once gained and given
is never lost or betrayed into unknowing..
and there are always shooting stars!
..for Rita
M.O.H.

My precious friend. I could not tell you in a thousand years what this does mean to me. This is so much how I visualize my rise to another plane. My ancestors leading me up to the new green plane of peace and serenity. You have opened my life to be seen like I thought I only would know it. So much seen, so much done, so much to do. Oh, this ride I am waiting for. Blessed be, my precious friend.
With love, Rita

A fine tribute for a fine fellow member (by a fine fellow member). Beautiful imagery.
... though there are many places I would rather die than upon a horse's back, myself...
