For Luther
Poetry is the impish attempt to paint the colour of the wind.
Genuine poetry can communicate before it is understood
-T. S. Eliot
Poets utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand

Luther Vandross gave hearts the hope of true love and his music tagged at our souls.Too bad my time of birth only gave me a decade or so with him,listening to his music.We still miss him.Him and the others:Left eye,Tupac,Aaliyah,Ray Charles,Marvin Gaye etc.This elegy is for him.
Lithely a life:
Like a lion,
its cub must act.
Like a star you were born;
wonder as your walking stone.
Time is like the wind:
alluring yet mysterious.
So, we quell our grief
a little but in vain.
The Epitaph:
Heaven has received a singer;
But our loss and grief linger.
