In loving memory of
Keith Robert Depew
5th November 1952 - 14th April 1999
Forever remembered and loved - ~Mystiqal~

I'd like to dedicate the following lyrics to Keith, written by Tal Bachman. They don't say everything about the type of wonderful man Keith was nor do they fully represent the love that we had together, but they are wonderful words and I know that Keith would have loved them. We shared a love that I know I'll never share with anyone else - and I know that Keith felt 100% the same way.

Keith, you truly were my everything - my lover, my best friend, my hero and you always will be. I know you're beside me at all times and I also know that when I pass on, you will be right there waiting for me so that we can continue our lives together eternally. I'll love you forever honey bunny!!

	If You Sleep Figure of divine perfection No one's loved with more affection Soul to soul we've breathed Oh, I won't let The Fates succeed Worried hours of contemplation Whispered bits of conversation Unaffected orderlies Disinfected rooms and hallways And if you sleep, you sleep with God And if I cry, it's for my heart Why should I hope to make it through? 'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too Jagged thorns and pretty petals Butterflies and stinging nettles Sunny days and nights of blackness But where's the joy to cure my sadness? And if you sleep, you sleep with God And if I cry, it's for my heart Why should I hope to make it throught? 'Cause if you sleep, I'll sleep too Gleaming cars and covered faces Teary eyes in hallowed places Grass and granite stone No one's been more all alone		I am Free Sea, sand and stone Wreath 'round this ground I call my own While dark, concrete sky Blacks out the sun with icy night Even though the ocean roars And the storm is bold, and the rain is cold Here I was born Though winter winds have blown And bitter seeds been sown I gave you all I am and all I hope to be Now I am Free Wind fill my frame Fire me with your immortal flame Even though I am poor Through the looking glass, I watch unfold What can't be told Though winter winds have blown And bitter seeds been sown I gave you all I am and all I hope to be Now I am Free Though fortunes rise and fall It's no concern at all I gave you all I am, and all I hope to be Now I am Free Even though I am poor Through the looking glass I watch unfold What can't be told
	Beside You Throughout the passing years As all the world seems ever changing We share the smiles and tears Of life, with love that's so far ranging And after all is said and done I'll be the one beside you I'll be your love and loyal friend Until the end, beside you Each flower bends with time Each leaf descends with every autumn But you and I will find Our love won't die or be forgotten And after all is said and done I'll be the one beside you I'll be your love and loyal friend Until the end, beside you When you and I are grey When youth has gone and life is dimming I promise that I'll stay Beside you, like we were beginning		(You Love) Like Nobody Loves Me I'm a difficult man I admit I'm not easy At the drop of a tear I can turn right away And all the heartaches I've seen One after another Can make a man mean enough To feel afraid And nobody cares, no one really knows me And nobody shares the other side of me But you love like nobody loves me I was there all the time Even I couldn't find me So how did you see, what made you believe? And nobody cares, no one really knows me And nobody shares the other side of me But you love like nobody loves me You delivered my heart One beat at a time after time after time And nobody cares, no one really knows me And nobody shares the other side of me But you love like nobody loves me So how did you see, what made you believe?

The rest of this page shall forever remain as it was before Keith passed on to live beside God (I may add some midi files for Keith in the near future though).

I'm still figuring out what this web site is going to entail, so for now I've added my Fave Links and some MIDI files for your listening pleasure (a mix of Jimmy Buffet, Jim Croce, Harry Chapin, Jethro Tull, Eric Clapton, Marc Cohn, The Marshall Tucker Band & The Grateful Dead...more will be added soon if I can find them).

For now, here's a little bit about myself...

I'm a Party Chief and work in oil exploration and spend most of my working time in the Gulf Of Mexico. I've been on the water for around 20 years now (started out in the Navy). When on land, I choose to spend my time in the beautiful Venango County area of Pennsylvania.

My favourite things include: First and foremost, my wonderful fiance, ~Mystiqal~ (We plan to marry in Australia next year). Then there's the "boof"...my 6 year old Akita called Pancho. He's a bonehead at times, but the best pal anyone could want. In the past few months, I've also come to know and love ~Myst's~ calico cat called Egypt. To add to our little menagerie, we've discovered that we have flying squirrels occupying our roof - their nocturnal habits ensuring that ~Myst~ doesn't get a full nights sleep too often! (Although I think she's finally getting used to the noise they make as they scurry around the ceiling...gnawing at their acorns and generally being busy, extremely intelligent, little critters!) And last, but not least, taking off in my 1980 MGB is something I enjoy doing when the weather permits...with ~Myst~ at my side of course :-)

Well, I hope you enjoy my page and will pop back often to see what else I've added. Hopefully there's something of interest here for you!!
