You never asked
a cross eyed question
nor made a burden
from your lack

You never turned
a sunny day
to a place that I
could not look back

Your feet in the furrow
your head in the clouds
My eyes set in horror
at the wandering crowds

Yet you ignored them
one and all
to spend our daylight
living tall

Even in your
darkest night
You said it was
still all right

I miss your smile
I miss that laugh
Your echo aloft
is all I have
