    As Jean Struther’s niece, I saw Bill often over the last decade. He was a wonderful man. Here’s a poem for him:

    Surrounding
    for Bill Bowie, December 22, 2006

    Then. At the turning of the year after
    nadir of deepest darkness, the small

    Moon of Long Night turns to beam
    over oak woods, above Lake Huron.

    The sun stands Solstice still.

    A light prepares to leave us, to lift
    into a world of unclouded Light.

    An old school gentleman beats
    time on his knee, attentive to times

    beyond count, beyond measure, beyond.

    His song ascends into a field of Music,
    dancing through unknown harmonies.

    Patterns of order call his name and he
    responds to a deeply familiar sound.

    A love that found his love after half
    a century surrenders to greater Love.

    A kindness joins great Kindness.
    Grace connects with Grace.

    A welcoming smile expands across
    the Green to greet those who have gone

    before and those who will follow sooner
    or later, when ever our moment is over.

    Keeping in time. Now. Then. The story
    unfolds and ends, or does not end. So.

    His valid/ benediction shines upon us.

    May Love, Light, and Grace ally us all ways.

    Penn Kemp
