ambience or as an entertainer foreground

To Alison,
The Rainbow Harpist
You have left
the rainbow,
The sun, the moon,
the stars,
so much behind you.
Until you
had gone
I did not know that you had left
the rivers, the forests,
the silences.
I did not know
I should always remember
your music in my heart.
Viva Alison,
Mucho gracias…
Peter Jacobson, Poet,
Dunedin, New Zealand
