The Death of a Poet

To see a star born then be embraced by death’s dance
The voice of the poet shortly heard
Our window isn’t open forever
It only lasts a little while
Like the stars we’ll vanish
But we’ll always be remembered
When a fellow poet falls from the sky
We all feel the loss in our hearts
The death of a poet is sad to bare
But we all must exit the stage
The time to write has ceased
But the legacy we leave remains
Etched on the eternal pages of the heart
As the rainbow shines on even after the storm
Reminding us that there is a beauty
That will never fade
