Spiritual Star Tribute
there is this vendor on the corner
where the girl with the inoperable brain tumor used to sit
she loved to tell her stories about the characters in the room of her mind
she would read to the vendor with her uniquely sloppy handwriting
the vendor was amazed at the depths her imagination took him
she was not a prodigy of any kind
she was just a little girl with ideas
that inoperable brain tumor did not matter
then today came
i told said vendor today that the little girl with the active imagination died last night
the vendor just smile slightly and thanked me.....and then pulled out this book
i forgot that i had to leave
the little girl's brain lives on in that book
thank you, Little Miss Ray-Anna, Peace Be With You All-Ways....
