Tim Riding Poet Acrostic

A Last Encore

A Last Encore
	    	
		Radiant shafts of light pierce the altar window
	    	As memories, fragmented, slowly come of
	    	Years long gone yet not forgotten,
	    	For we knew each other well.
	    	All gathered today
	    	In memorial attire
	    	Recall nothing of what we shared.
	    	Ballads, country, rock, they
	    	Roll around in my head
	    	As I remember the backing I gave,
	    	Side by side,
	    	Stage right, every night.
	    	Audiences enthralled by melodies
	    	Known to all,
	    	And always wanting more.
	    	Separate lives from those of the day,
	    	Unknown to that world,
	    	Makes the telling seem strange.
	    	Maybe a future venue awaits 
	    	Ensuring friendship and music never die,
	    	Ray and I, together again,
		Summers and Winters.
