the magnificent vision of living schools
is a treasure left behind
you were the visionary
not one who would take the steps
of administration and implementation,
that would have been a prison for your spirit
now your spirit is free to wander
and i am here, left behind with your vision
what can i do
more than write about this magic
in my own book
as a way to honor your work
as a way to maybe, maybe make it come true
one day
on the riverbank
one day
when the time has come
