a Wonderful Man  and  a Great Spirit

Coyos

by

Don Hynes

One man has left the earth,

his dog went before him

scouting the way

on the old journey

into the timeless,

leaving behind

his music,

his trickster,

the joy he fired

from the grief

of his family

to forge a life

on the high mesa,

playing his flute

to the four directions,

to the animals

and desert plants,

playing to the sun rising

and to his greater spirit

lifted now into the invisible

with the sound of his laughter,

the echo of his music

and the mask he carved

as a warrior and a friend.

Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth

. . . . . . .

or ever the silver cord be loosed
or the golden bowl be broken
or the pitcher be broken at the fountain
or the wheel broken at the cistern
then shall the dust return to the earth as it was
and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it

Ecclesiates
