For Michael

all are gods appearing ex nihilo yet finite.

we live, love, create, then, we end.

we are gone.

#

all withdraw, hide their face, lives returning to their source.

from whence, into where, who can say.

they are gone.

#

pain & sorrow, love & laughter may befall us all.

common experience unites us,

one & all.

#

cherished memories, linger all around in the air.

to those who bring joy, I wish you ease.

hold them close.

#

imperfect gods are we, flailing, faltering, failing.

each quite unique yet so the same.

we live on.

#

harmony forces people to be other than themselves.

choose not to deny your true essence.

do not wait.

#

Live as Michael lived, imperfectly exquisite.

express yourself albeit flawed.

it is late.

#

Seize this opportunity; memory abides, real.

carry those who have gone before.

Live on united.


Michael Scheurer died today. I did not know him but it broke my heart – made me cry. My wife loved him dearly. He brought her great joy. His memory is sweet. Say his name – Michael Scheurer.
