A natural born lizard
baked like bread in the Texas sun
cool enough to chill out
in Barton Springs

bend and don't brake
the way to be
shake, rattle and snake

movements a best friend
when sitting still is too much a challenge
walking meditation becomes balance

poetry, he still gives for free
like a daily apple
to keep the doctor's satchel full

be the change
you want others to mull
over and over

friends and family
in memories from long ago
appear clear as Van Gogh
the process sometimes is fast
sometimes slow

there are words worth deserving the memory
that live forever in the bonds and bones
thank you for reminding me
