Mason High School Class of 1973
Mason, Michigan
who have passed on since 1973.
But you knew me better.
On walks over roads and meadows
Our thoughts roamed whims of youth.
I loved you, but you loved me more.
My pretense melted in your laughter
Your eyes pierced my clouds
And the road was open before us.
Now you are gone,
And I see only hedges and fences
And deep mists of sighs
The world has oddly dimmed
Yet I close my eyes
And I see you quite clearly:
We walk over roads and meadows
Your voice refrains its music still
You are there,
fixed in a crystalline thought
Of your perfect agelessness.
