23 Oct RIP Walter
There once was a man named Walter
Whose defiance never did falter
He defied the Man
And found some land
And proceeded to seed it with water.
He tapped the deep springs
and brought it to life
From dry dusty scratch
to verdantly rife
Later and greater,
there came a one Jane
A spirit, a sprite,
always up for a game.
Feathering their nest
She did with aplomb
Creating the most magical
garden, bar none.
Dragons and angels
and secret dark nooks
defying description
by words of a book.
To this garden there came
So many a party
Music and revelry,
All very hardy.
Insights and magic
Full moons and bliss
Dawns of pure radiance
Dragonflies and fish
This land we called Home
Your life’s work and your gift
Gave so much aliveness
And gave us hope we could shift
Our culture of Stuff
Our obsession with money
To one where there’s beauty
And bees who make honey
Thanks to you, we had proof
That clearcuts and dust
Could become green and fertile
With frogs, fish, and US!
Dragon’s Drool shows simply
that Magic IS Real
That’s Anything’s Possible..
It’s a Truth you just feel.
You did it. You lived it.
You showed us the way
Thanks to you came the vision
of a movement to say
We can do it, they did it!
It’s possible, see
Transformation is hard,
but you just have to BE.
Be still and be wild
Watch stars and pick beans
Use sunshine for power
Find out what life really means.
Thank you dear Walter
And thank you dear Jane
You’ve changed us forever
Thanks to you, we are not the same.
Rest in peace Walter. Your legacy is lasting.
