His departure was a soft tragedy,
whispered into the wind
by the souls and tears
of his beloveds, when to mend
their smiles was his only living
memory.
.
The flowers dimmed
and the sun burst-
for a moment.
They all hurt, cursed
the sorrow in their hearts
as the life they learned in his leaving
was his last gift.
