The sculpture by Lyndon Fayne Pomeroy is made of welded steel and is accompanied by the following poem,
Gandalf
a Christmas poem for Christene, 1991
What would he look like
if he went to heaven?
Maybe a little whiter,
to reflect the casting-
off of all those bits of dark pain
he gathered on his rounds
he probably wouldn't even remember
the creature locked in the garage
the wild face at the small square window,
the terror of the growls.
Maybe a little smaller,
a little younger,
just because that's how heaven is.
Maybe always sitting calm,
face upturned
waiting for God
or you.
Maybe that's
what gandy'd look like
if he went to heaven
Free, poised,
waiting for a voice
to call his name.
