From Jim Kessler

Peter pan philosopher
peter pan philosopher
ancient cliff dweller
retuning to the sea
your hair swept back
with evolutional emergence
currents easing your form
the bottlenose smile of your friends
reflecting from you
you told me you would not hesitate
to rocket beyond the planets
I knew that I would miss you Doug
in that blue future

Unfortunately, I will not be able to be with everyone to share our memories on Doug's birthday. What a great gift we all share.
