In Memory of Chan Hurst-The Archaic Poet

Brother,you were a human torch in a melanchonic orbit of undefined wars Now you are a pentagram star mystical and magical Pouring light and love from a happier place from behind heaven doors Not so distant though worlds afar. Through each verse and every stanza you are. Like Tolkien,your middle earth was always the unknown, Your soul has found its home. A sculptor of word A weaved tapestry of artistry A collage of emotions,a performer A treasure of memories Our souperstar. An archaic poet,a self-professed geek A rhymer you are playing on our heart strings with a honey toned acoustic guitar. Must ve'been an optical illusion I saw you getting near I 'm sure I've heard your laughter sweet echoing my ear; But I know it cannot be , Through faith We face reality. Our God himself descended To his word We adhere He held you a bit closer and wiped away each tear, He raised you to his land with a loving hand, We'll miss you dear friend, But We understand... Till we meet again Alive in our hearts you stand. Till then,Protect Us dear Chan. .
A Tribute for you Chan Hurst The Archaic Poet . Fly with the Angels.

Dear Charma, YOU wove the tapestry here. I hung on every line, absorbing the powerful and beautiful descriptions of a man who died too young. You have some remarkable images here. I especially admire "melanchonic orbit of undefined wars." We are all in this orbit. My heart goes out to you and all of the people who knew and loved Chan. A beautiful tribute! Love you, Carolyn

A great tribute to one who loved music and words . . . (look at line 25 "you" or "your" tear?)
