A Tribute to Monty Oum.

Leave a window open for him tonight...


A bird flew in through my window,

and made a home where it could find.

We talked and argued and laughed;

He brought comfort and joy to my mind.


A bird flew in through my window,

Telling stories which made my chest ache;

Where goodness and kindness prevailed,

Where one person, a difference could make.


A bird flew in through my window,

And stole my breath for hours.

With tales of maidens and relics;

Of simple souls wielding silver-eyed powers.


A bird flew in through my window,

And somehow made me believe-

If such love existed in fairy tales,

Maybe it could also exist ...for me?


A bird flew in through my window,

In his creations, he made me a part.

I saw my struggles through his character's eyes;

They were fiction, yet real in my heart.


A bird flew in through my window,

But sudden early leave he did take;

With tears I asked "Why?"

To which he replied,

"I have one last creation to make..."
