An Ode For Alejandro

In a faraway Island home, we have multiple Faiths and

Choruses that have joined with our hodge-podge collection 

Of rainbow colored minstrels, poets, songsters and dancers. 

All enticed to become their truest selves – at long, long, Last. 

On being gifted to hear those faint heavenly chords in the ether 

Or purposely imagining those silken sounds in the clouds that 

Have either been strummed or plucked onto instruments picked 

From the vine of life since before time began by the Angels 

Who broke our hearts and left here when still innocent Infants 

Their soul purpose to make this beautiful woven sheet of music 

Come to life in the shape of 

A White Dove called Everlasting Love
