       BLUE AND DEEP
     (a requiem for Tim Stone)
           by Jonathan Torres

Please don’t wither
you old calico cat
warmer weather and
good old summers coming
These old bald tires
hit the wet road running
I can run with them

Tim you found your guilty friend
trying to hide from God
in the blue bonnets again
just before the sun rises
sing this storm child but
I’m still empty my friend

I remember that day
the autumn sunlight’s you face
we heard that morning break
our silence

Please don’t let Jerry’s fingers
ever stop strumming
cause it keeps me from something
I don’t want to relive
Tim I will write this song for you

Tim you found your guilty friend
trying to hide from God
in the blue bonnets again
just before the sun rises
sing the storm child but
I’m still empty my friend

I remember that day
the autumn sunlight’s you face
we heard that morning break
our silence

Tim we will play this
song for you
till our fingers
are black and bruised
Bar tender call your last,
these songs end,
but our blues they’ll last.

Tim you found your guilty friend
trying to hide from God
in the blue bonnets again
just before the sun rises
sing the storm child but
I’m still empty my friend

Those eyes are closed now
but I know they still see
Eyes blue and deeper than we’ll ever know
From this world you are free
( my friend)

                           My Vision of Tim
                             By: Danielle Hicks
                                       9-26-03

Tim came to me last night, but not as me to you.
In a vision he said, “This is what my friends should do.
Ya’ll know I didn’t always live a Christian life, or attend church.
Now I must work through you, because I love my friends so much.
Not everyone gets a chance while riding in a car,
To ask forgiveness for his sins and be taken by far.
I’m thankful for a graceful God that gave me that chance.
Now I come to you in just this last glance,
Tell all my friends and your friends too
Make peace with God so I can be with you.
As I am waiting in heaven with friends and love-ones dear,
I watch over you, so you can have no fear.
Put your faith in God and you’ll be heaven bound
For the greatest reunion when the trumpet sounds.
So now your friend must say good-bye, but not for long in God’s eye.”
Then I awoke and I knew, Tim gave a message for me and you.
As we comfort each other in this great loss,
Tim’s new wisdom came with a cost
‘Cause Jesus died on Calvary, to make a heaven for you and me.
Tim wanted me to say “Salvation first--Do It Today!”
