A great mind departs into the winter's night-sky wreaths and shrines adorning the ground where he may lie died doing what he done best, knowing his time had come now he traverses the stars with Ziggy and Major Tom sitting in his tin can far above the likes of you and me gazing upon our world through tears, alas now he's free - wanted eagles in his daydreams, diamonds in his eyes escaping the black side of reality he so very much despised ['Look up here man I'm in danger I've got nothing left to lose.'] carried away upon a tidal wave of fame albums meant nothing 'cause they'll sell again, defying sexuality, pioneering the glam-rock scene achieving goals only the common man can dream ['Ground control to Major Tom - your circuit's dead, there's something wrong!'] now his voice is followed by the chilling whisper of death, sang to the end with his very last breath body failing but soul very much alive empty silence filled with his hazy cosmic jive - and yes, years will pass from this day, but we will never forget who you are farewell Ziggy Stardust our brilliant shining Blackstar. AJ ["I'm happy... hope you're happy too..."] RIP David Bowie
