Your Silent Screen
For Ghost
Show the story, the glory will follow
you like a tree that shades you from
the heat of July. Your walk though
different every day tells the story
never do you say, "I" a Charlie Chaplin
movie of biking, gardening, questioning
and talking. You showed this poet the
story of life, for years now. The old
games of name dropping's self-promotion
lose their attraction having watched
the talker say one thing and never do.
You my silent screen star walk earth
with a bare foot reverence, feeling the
meaning of life in your path, daily bread
of air, water and sky. An environmentalist
you shape the earth and the earth shapes
your hands into tender tools of touch.
A farmer's heart a thinker's mind, you
take the silent screen to walk a show.
