The shadow of me is
everywhere.
If you look at the sunset,
With a glass of wine in
hand,
You will see me in all the
colors-
Each color an expression
of my mood.
If you sit in my chair,
And rest your feet-
You will feel the peace
that filled my soul -
As I rested my tired body
from a long day.
If you take a walk down
the hill
where often the dogs
accompanied me-
You will hear the sounds
of nature
that resolved so much
dis-ease,
From years of living in a
busy city.
If you go into my
workshop,
And see all of my projects
lying there still waiting
to be finished-
Please know it is an
invitation for you
to pull up a stool,
Help yourself to a beer,
And pick up a tool.
And in the spirit of doing
What I loved to do-
You will feel me in that
moment
because the shadow of me
is everywhere.
~In loving memory of my father-in-law, Charlie Hernandez, departed from this world on 8/18/16.
