LOVE

Funny thing about love
It pops up at the darndest times

Helps to remind us that

There is a God

I watched a video
About a young man
Who’d left this earthly plane

Behind

With its splashy instances of
Joy and jubilation
Interspersed with hurdles
Where he always managed

To regain

Momentum

Until the day that he didn’t.

I knew this young man

He was joyous and kind

Before leaving his  life

Behind

I watched the video
Absorbed the love

Within

Each warm and tender

Memory

Grateful to observe

His  life exposed so

Beautfully

In music and photography

Grateful for having known
This young man

Who’d been so joyous and kind

Now missed greatly

By so many.
