Yes it is sad that we have lost such a poet from our world.
He was two years older than me it makes me feel so secure.
He will be missed by quite a few, poetry is not a thing that people read so much or have ever done so.
Life, Death, and poetry, we still write, we still die, it is the space that is ours as we journey on, did we do enough or too little while here on this life plain.
We must judge ourselves on this one young Bard, maybe we can watch what happens after we have left, will the wind cry for us? will there be a beating of breasts or will there be no ripples in the world that we know?
Young Bard that we know within ourselves that we did as well as we could for the better I think that it will matter not what others say.
Take care and do those things you have left undone in the now, as there is no other time,
Yours Ian.T
