There need to be
fourteen thousand leaves
there will to be
fourteen thousand leaves
to fall
for me to roll
roll 'round in
for now i'll wait
for now i'lln waint
'til then i will dance with the leaves
and create perfect hamronleaves
it's then i'll waint
orn then i'lln rolln
fourteen thousand leaves
to roll around in

Brother
your vision rings with the joy of a star
sounding
the praise of infinite light
You endure hardship, madness, ridicule
as your brush makes a king of a postman
Your steps are enchanted, dreaming, faltering
as you walk toward the harvest at sunset
Vincent
you labored so long, sowed your seeds of love
rest now
as flowers bloom in the sun
-Steven Bergdall and Emily Feingold

Elegy for Bill Evans, 1929-1980
Music your hands are no longer here to make
Still breaks against my ear, still shakes my heart.
Then I feel that I am still before you.
You bend above your shadow on the keys
That tremble at your touch or crystallize,
Water forced to concentrate. In meditation
You close your eyes to see yourself more clearly.
Now you know the source of sound,
The element bone and muscle penetrate
Hoping to bring back beauty.
Hoping to catch what lies beyond our reach,
You hunted with your fingertips.
My life you found, and many other lives
Which traveled through your hands upon their journey.
Note by note we followed in your tracks, like
Hearing the rain, eyes closed to feel more deeply.
We stood before the mountains of your touch.
The sunlight and the shade you carried us
We drank, tasting our bitter lives more sweetly
From the spring of song that never stops its kiss.
