what is in a name,
but letters and sounds,
and meaning,
gleaning spare gloaming,
C H
see aches
of broken hearts,
of many,
it was lines on paper,
some took it as lines in the sand,
life is lost when we can't laugh,
those who could not laugh, tried
to get their life back by taking lives,
the others
the creative core,
when you meet a man face to face,
you have a gun and he has not one,
you are not a man.
Life is fragile, life is too short,
to not be enjoined and enjoyed
in laughter at ourselves.
For now, it is right for tears to fall,
but let them be joined by laughter.
To honor C H
walk the streets of Paris,
sing songs in the city of Love,
not out of naiveté,
but for continued creativity,
so living memories live beyond
the loss,
much loss,
they now walk
beyond the boundaries of the imagination,
it is where they worked
it where they still live in all
who embrace Freedom,
in a name.
condolences
