EMILE

Like a suspended blade

That has to descend

The news came,

And your name cannot now be called

So that you will hear.

Instead, it will be inscribed

On the certificates, the obituaries

And the programmes.

 

You were a wonderful man,

A man of many aspects

Shining out through many facets

Like a diamond.

Shining out through words and paint

Onto paper canvas and walls,

Giving generously to all and for all.

 

And those of us left behind,

Must try to continue to create as best we can,

With your memory in our minds.
