For James Bevan

I’m posting a poem dedicated to James Bevan

I’m posting this poem as a dedication to my friend, James Bevan, for his inspiration, his strength, his will power, and the love he has for his three young sons and his family. We’re all praying for you, James!

I hope everyone at Cosmofunnel, will celebrate James Bevan, this week. Or write to him well wishes!

This one,
Is
for you
James Bevan

While laying in the hospital,
wishing for the rain to turn to hail.
Look out the window and see
that strange fluffy cloud.

Imagine you are on a winged
horse, white with black spots.
Soaring through the atmosphere
with wings enough to dance and
soar.

Think about a time in life, when
the magic felt so near.
Remembering the soft warm
summer days, cooking out
taking trips, doing new things
all dads do.

Sports on television, mom
made cold cut sandwiches.
Laughing, giggling, how
they loved to play.

Getting older now,
I surely see, me in them
at every turn of the clock,
we’re running out of time.

The end has drawn much
closer. I wish there was
a secret code, to press
when we decided: Hey
I really don’t want to go?

Not yet!

But if I go, before you wake,
then, let me tell you a little
the tale, about a man who loves
his son’s, he wrote about them
each and every day.

Through his words, we wish
we wonder we imagine, we
become somber, knowing this
is a Poet of his time and yet
time is not there for much
longer.

We’ll dance, we’ll sing, we’ll
laugh, we’ll play, we’ll live,
we’ll write for one more spell,
looking forward this year to
winter.

Thanks, James Bevan,
for inspiring all of the writers at
Cosmofunnel and beyond!
