The Gravity of Genius

To show the world so many faces yet not reveal your tears, to take imaginations places throughout your bright career, To see your heartfelt humility and real self-deprecation with natural unmatched ability of mad improvisation, to fly where others find no path, to thrive in air so rarefied defines a genius of his craft. How could life's role terrify? Perhaps Robin would break the silence with a brilliant improv routine, heckling death with satirical defiance. He was the best I’ve ever seen. Otherworldly talent must command a price no man should ever pay. I can’t pretend to understand, so I will laugh, reflect, and pray.
