David

Maker of mermaids 

Sculptures and paintings

tempera patchworks

Rich glowing colour

Drawing lines across the sky

The arctic geese fly in

This cold late January

And you are with them now

In the light

In the dark

In the old silence of the stars

In the warmth of the woody fire

I will remember

Kindness and humour

A twinkling smile

Breakfasts at dawn

I will still see you

In sculptures and paintings

That carry your spirit

That carry you on
