The Death Of A Poet Poem by Hebert Logerie

You left
After death
Knocked at your door
No need to say more.

We painfully grieved
We recited your poems.

We cried
As you lay
Silently surrounded
By a dazzling array of orchids
You said nothing
Phenomenal Darling.

We quietly grieved
We listened to your poems.

As you lay in state
Speechlessly surrounded
By good wishers who love you
Many poets paid tribute to you
You were phenomenally gifted
And blessed
May you rest in peace!

Now we understand your poems
We know why you had to leave.

Death came
You were neither ashamed
Nor afraid to go on the journey
Today is your day
And ours will come soon
Under a somber moon
Let us reminisce
You will be missed
My Darling
The bells rang
Good morning.
