‘twas long ago when I met him
in the wilds of cyberspace
a lucky day for me
right time, right place
for behind the fearsome beard
hid the face of a gentle man
a humanitarian soul
he helps anyone he can
accepting of other cultures
delighting in far-off places
his mind & heart are open
to all people of all races
a generous guy –
with his time he’s not a miser
working through the night
to repair a synthesizer
he loves old tape recorders
mixing boards & amps
a child of sixties love
who danced his way through hippie camps
I’m proud to call him my friend
this cool dude with his rainbow sweater
though miles apart we’re joined
by the hope that that world will get better
