For Syd

Laughter in the world of colours of the mind,
Beauty in the music heard behind the eyes.
Freedom from the shackles of his kind —
Laughter in the world of colours of the mind.

He felt the light as music, sound as flame,
Living in the glow where day and dreaming rhyme.
Alone at last, he found the song behind the light,
And drifted softly into endless time.

Laughter in the world of colours of the mind.
