We can’t imagine that you’re gone
Even though it’s true
There is so much of us you left behind
The part that loves you
We didn’t want to see your tombstone
Because then we would know
We want to believe you’re part of this world
It needs your seeds to grow
You showed us a way to live freely
With love and strength
You were pollen and bees in the wind
A garden of depth and length
Your light was warm and inspiring
A symphony day or night
Flowers and tides drawn to celestial bodies
Music swaying in our sight
We walk the streets you once shadowed
With lightness and humility
You never once assumed your worth
Now we cry for your dignity
We hope you can our veiled minds
We live in mourning
But yes we will laugh once again
That was your calling
Not to make light of the horror of life
For still you wept alone
But instead to light the human spirit
For a world we can call home
