January 1986
his life entire
has passed as breath
to not be drawn again
a sudden breeze
and brief
beneath the season's sun
He loved, he laughed
he sometimes dreamed
he sang his song for life
His home his castle
his wife his love
his children pride and joy
Storm clouds - sun shine
He took it all and stood
And fell
An open field 'neath autumn's sun
golden leaves blow through the sky
A marble slab
a name
a date
the sum of all his steps
his bitter epitaph
"Also ran"
