Ava - "romantica" - Ode To Craig Kennedy

Craig Kennedy was a highly unusual and very dear person and, as such, he touched many lives. He died too young and his unique contribution is still missed by his friends and family.

The ode I wrote in Craig's memory fairly flew on to the page and is entirely based on a series of actual occurrences. The four friends referred to in each verse are, without exception, Pamela, Garrick, Craig and myself. This was a golden time and we took extreme pleasure in each other's company.


"Now Craig is a ghost in my garden of Eden,
Where I cultivate music and laughter and freedom,
Where everything here promotes you-dom and me-dom,
And the breeze from the east wind provides inspiration."

- chorus from "Ode To Craig Kennedy"



PLEASE NOTE: This photo of Craig (showing him in his beloved outdoor elements of field and forest) came to me through Garrick and I believe the photo credit belongs to Pam K.
