Dan's Lore

Do not mourn
In my demise
Please, I want you to realize
Mine was a life
Lived fully

I sang from mountainous peaks
I sang love songs to my siren sea
I loved ladies and respected men
I reminded you to honor the now, the then

Rejoice that I was here
That I found you all in my rear view mirror
After I drove off into my sun's setting
And you...sang myself to me, in your melodic vetting

So, please no mourning
Instead, embrace the joyful knowing
That you are fully alive
As I was. Live, love, thrive!

Sing and love and learn
As the seasons and the cycles turn
Find yourself, also turning
Wiser, lighter; and in your learning
Write you own songs, find your own voice
It's your life, you are gifted with choice

I chose life at the fork in the road
I wrote of my travels so they could be told
From my deep soul to the depths of yours
Life affirming and loving lore
Is what I gave as a gift to the world
Until the day my Icarus like wings unfurled
And I was lifted away and high
Today, I whisper to you all..... "goodbye"

Say hello to your own inner wisdom
Use the crystal knowledge of your life as a prism
Shine into the world your own gentle warnings
And, please, rejoice..... let go the mourning
