I know how much all of you love Dave/Moose. He just reminded me of a poem I wrote for him... and as many poems as I've writ, it is seldom I've writ them 'for' someone... but there is just something about Mooseman. he talked of woods and leaves and sunlight and things that... capture a holler gal's heart. and he talked of... aging and his young days. anyways... he has reminded me of this, and I think if ever I wrote a fine poem, this might be it, and it was only because of who he is... a poet is only as good... as the spirit they express... so, this is the Dave I know... and why inspite of any differences, I hang around and hold him dear...

For Dave ~

i turned from the mirror
eyes seeing through my window
and he sat
on the curb
observing his shoes
with great concentration
i wondered at the man
his air was of youth
yet his hair laced grey
in his hand
he held a leaf
and i watched
as he let go of his shoes
and observed the color
autumn's gift to him
and i knew
he knew
the tree that had granted him
this treasure
caring hands held it high
and the sharp fall sun
lit it for me to see
a shadow grew close
the chill i know so well
i held a hand high
and held the shadow at bay
at least for this moment
as the sun turned
the man's face to the boy
for this day
