Dear John,

john died..

his earthly bones offered to sediment
tangoing with gold flecks and blight
his soul woven into the tapestry
of eternal light

before he left
he sowed rows of gems
across the universal garden
for birds of paradise 
to 
perch upon
breath in
gently palm
weave nests
temper feral hearts 
with waves of warmly calm

john died..
John the Poet died
