To Mike

It ended
like it began 
in stillness
and silence
for you
finally
at one with time

while others
you wont know
take your place
at the starting line 
to race 
all out
to the finish 

a starter’s shot
a great roar
and then 
stillness 
and silence

while others
you wont know
take your place
at the starting line
cheered on 
to the finish.
