Twenty Years Ago

In memory of John Douglas Newman, 6/14/61-1/30/88

If a likeness of him
Caught my eye in a crowd
Then I'd dream,
Then heaven allowed...

Tender illusion
Joyful reunion
Sweet, spare moments
Stolen from time.

Then waves of love
Time's barrier broke
Left me stunned
I awoke...

Curtain closed
No more allowed
Till I see another face like his
In a crowd.
