Smarter



I never knew
if the glass horses were best
alchemy or indian summers
the waterfalls of words were chaos

It was wonderful
and then it took you

I liked you in your cowgirl hat
you called us family
I think unfriendliness was rare for you

and though I knew you little
it's what I will believe

If you are the inspiration
for poems and beautiful images
let me thank you endlessly

I have looked up to you
so if words will reach you where you are
I hope you hear what I write for you
the small echo of what you gave to the world
