I remember you
Your laugh was loud
Infectious to a crowd
How your shoulders shook
As tears fell from your eyes

Gifting smiles to strangers
As if you knew who they were
And they responded, as if you were sure
You always entered a room like a hurricane
And left people never feeling the same

Life was an adventure
To be lived to the absolute full
You were the larger than life china shop bull
Collecting people as you charged through life
Quickly embraced into the whirlwind of you

Lifting my life into sonic sound
I lost my feeling with the ground
As I clung to your tail, we blazed a trail
Then I cried as your shooting star fell
Hitting Earth with shattering force

Then like a clockwork toy
Your life began to unwind
And calmness began visiting your mind
Days were spent in tranquil reflection
And quiet laughter was shared, of times remembered

A chasm too large to measure
Has scarred this orbiting home
And light has faded in your catacomb
I feel the weight of the gravity pull
And the world will mourn the loss of you
