His Death

The music is alluring
All senses washed away
As you sway along
To a far and distant cave

In the company of a giant
Far greater than us all
But understanding and kind
And wise beyond all years

The wonder and the awe
Errode away the sadness
Of the great one's suffering pain
Yet he stood bravely through it all

For others have betrayed
His gentle caring touch
As the harmonious dawn
Serenades his mournful death

My spirit soars away
As awe and loyalty
Invade my soaring spirit
In the presence of the one

An explosion of all light
Of the joyness everywhere
For even though he's gone
He lingers everywhere

In the heavens
In the stars
In every living thing
But still it ends in joy
With his magic all around

His memory still eludes
In tales broad and far
For the mightiest of all
Still hovers near and far
