Goodbye, Don---In Memory of my freind Don McMasters

Goodbye, Don

Dedicated to Randy


Hearing that Don is gone
The world became smaller
the fall lost its color
The news sucked away
the freshness of autumn’s air

Don is gone
The moon is mourning
tears are pouring

Don is gone
But still cheers us on
His knowledge is profound
Of computers, music, art, philosophy and life
But he always stood
Tall, kind and gentle

I learned many things from Don
From Pozzatti., Wells, Tom of Finland
To” Nixon in China”
His curiosity is strong but his spirit is gentle
He taught me to
To look at the world from many angel

Where there may not be right nor wrong
But shades of light and ranges of a sound
The world is rich but subtle
Requires a step closer to see
the lines, planes and circles
To hear sound of near and afar
To experience l life’s riddle

The Moon is mourning
When Don is gone
Gone beyond
But still lives on
In the lilac’s pleasant smell
in autumn fresh air
and hearts of individual
