Still Life

The steel blue urn sits empty and quiet  
Delicate baby breathe tremble and fills around
A dozen red roses in a fragile crystal vase

I search the photograph that captures your free spirit
Long blonde hair blowing in the wind riding without a helmet
Daring to live on the open road

Above an easel holds a self-portrait
A hermit climbs his own rugged path
Only you know where it leads

Resting below a black guitar case with well worn brass locks
Your music silenced 
Your gentle voice

Remains in my heart
