Rudy and Helen (a farewell tribute)

they pose for the camera
blurred green leaves form a background
two faces smiling at us
natural smiles
gentle breezes
summer sun 

his greying beard
her inviting eyes
speaking of northern winters
and southern
Spanish cities
service to and for 

you can look at trees
bring them in focus
and hear a simple folk song
or a bagatelle by Beethoven
both beautiful
both honest 

the eyes look out
and we can hear the voices
mixing with the leaves
of the tree of life
