Dedication To Robin Williams

Doubting the fire in your heart Firewater to wash the tears Laughter hides the rain Witty lines to overshadow the silence and the pain Missing Doubts, fired from life’s strains Acting roles, never I me The Big screen, keeping you all over there As I play my own role, hardly can I bare Enveloped in sadness No letter inside empty walls Fulfilled now, the dead poet The comedic tragedy Hanging up side down Too tired, I retire To the society yonder

Hi Arthur, I'm still challenged when it comes to this site "Poetry Soup", I seen you sent a message about a poem you wrote, but I don't see it and there was nothing in the email. Also I don't know how to send soup mail and can't open soup mail. Like I said I'm still very challenged when it comes to this.

Love this....enjoyed the creative way in which you spoke of the disease, the emotional pain & suffering that the genius in the art of entertaining Robin Williams suffered with, a disease that has stricken many.

A very fitting tribute. Many share in this sadness. We have been touched by his genius, it is sad he could not feel the outpouring of love. perhaps he will feel it now beyond the curtain of darkness.
