SHOOTING STAR

If you listen its getting quietier and I don't like quiet

It's as if he were gone, or about to go

Its getting lower, slower, quieter

Maybe his talent lay in vision

a vision he once had

'My photographs are my children'

'They will be around when I am gone'

and then quickly, quietly he was gone

like a shooting star, that forever burns brightly
