Dawn...
And with the waking of the sun
The silver chord is severed
From the body of the Admiral's son
The male white poet, the Indian one
So that a time of night has befallen
Those whom remain
That grasp for him with longing
Who has made his final escape
Into the realms of the unknown
To where no mortal has been
Across the stream of his vision
To where he so often dreamed
far past the temples of wisdom
We mortals concieve
Beyond earthen-bed & tombstone
Under which he no longer bleeds
For with the torrent of eternity
He is swimming free.

Can death praise that unique face?
The poet's vision has its price to be paid
For the ultimate word is concealed
Within the palace of pain.
Will in death he find peace & rest of mind?
A slumber for eternity...
Or the ultimate articulation
Exceeding the art of word & speech.
But how should he sleep
When he is resurrected within so many souls?
How can he reach the eternal goal...still singing.
How can we let him die
With his words still ringing in our ears & minds?
Oh, we cannot let him die
Spirited from us to the other side...
Could he be so kind,
As to forgive our blind devotion??
