We who with songs beguile your pilgrimage / And swear that Beauty lives though lilies die, / We Poets of the proud old lineage / Who sing to find your hearts, we know not why ... (James Elroy Flecker)

Farewell, Col Joye ...

 

Farewell, Col Joye. Thanks 

for songs I danced to

when we were both young.


Thanks, Col Joye, for the joy

which you named yourself for

and always gave.

14 Words For Love is a facebook group (the number of words chosen because Valentine's Day falls on the14th). They don't have to be in verse, but I always try to do that.


(OK, this is 14 words twice over, but he deserves extra.)
