The Passing Of A Poet

You left After death Knocked at your door No need to say more. We painfully grieved We recited your poems. We cried like grown kids As you lay Silently surrounded By a dazzling array of orchids You said nothing Phenomenal Darling. We quietly grieved We listened to your poems. As you lay in state Speechlessly surrounded By good wishers who love you Many poets paid tribute to you You were phenomenally gifted And blessed May you rest in peace! Now we understand your poems We know why you had to leave. Death came You were neither ashamed Nor afraid to go on the journey Today is your day And ours will come soon Under a somber moon Let us reminisce You will surely be missed My Darling The bells rang Good morning.
