Gone
When a poet dies
The light of the world no longer shines
As bright as it did before
Gone
The moon and stars
Gone
The sunshine that blessed our days
Gone
Are their thoughts and their unique views
Pondered over
in each poem we read
Gone
their chosen lines written
that we ruminated between each day
within each one
Gone
Are those crafted puns
Each one placed with excellent timing
Gone
Are true words from a poet's heart
Gone
From the sacred place
A poet found to be and dwell in
Not only in their own heart
Their head but to
Be vulnerable & share their poetic thoughts
On paper, for us all to see
Also gone
are the poetic scribbles
Some, making no sense at all
Now gone
Lyrics from the heart of a poet
We mourn now that they're forever gone...
