A eulogy for Robert
You had to be there really,
To hear Bob speak.
His way was a conversation
His meanings crafted
on purpose
taking time to be born.
He offered us galaxies of words
and images
Stopes of fabulous wealth
from the veins of his heritage
for those who cared to mine it.
Bob was an artist.
You had to be there really
and see
The drawings
The sculptures
The carvings
You had to be there really
and listen to
The stories
The anecdotes
The wit
Uniquely from Bob.
You had to be there really
to catch
his light.
Bright diamonds
these memories
of Bob
that are held in the wake
of his loves
and his friends.
