\nabout the historic
\nShockhoe Bottom area
\nright near the 17th Street
\nFarmers\u2019 Market
\nthe big clock just ahead
\non the Main Street Station
\nsparked in my head
\nthe memory of
\nOur time<\/em>
\nthe Time<\/em>
\nWe
\nspent
\ntogether
\nwhen you took the time<\/em>
\nto meet me
\nfor the day in Richmond
\nyes\u00a0\u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0 so I could fully
\nimmerse myself
\nvisually
\nin the spirit
\nof Poe
\nat his museum
\nsee\u00a0\u00a0 ~\u00a0 \u00a0I’m this artist
\nenthralled
\nwith imagery
\nused in a way
\nto tell the tale\u00a0 …..
\n…..\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 the story
\nof an experience
\ncaptured in time<\/em>
\nby a photo
\ntaken with
\na Smartphone camera
\nto be further
\nembellished
\nwith the dance
\nof poetic words\u00a0 \u00a0~
\n~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 little did I know then
\nback in that time<\/em>
\nhow much more
\nsignificant
\nthis kind of process
\nwhich preserves
\nmoments in time<\/em>
\nwould become
\nespecially with you
\nafter I found out
\nyou had been
\ndiagnosed with MS\u00a0\u00a0 ~
\n~\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 how these images
\nwith words
\nover-time<\/em>
\nhave been inspired
\nby your struggle
\nand would
\nlater become useful
\nin fulfilling art’s
\ngreatest calling
\nto serve the greater good
\nprovide inspiration
\nwhere something
\nis changed for the better
\na story to be told
\nand then shared
\nthroughout the streets
\nas here in Richmond
\nuntil life\u2019s ills
\nlike MS
\nare no more
\nand its place in time<\/em>
\nwill be forgotten \u2026..
\n\u2026. but not\u00a0\u00a0 ~\u00a0\u00a0 Our time<\/em>
\nmy dear sweet muse<\/p>\n
