Farewell
Somewhere between here and there.
You’ve gone.
Lost in the space between dreams.
Departed, like the ghost of Christmas present.
Full of fun and grumpy too.
Never a dull moment with you.
Life will be so lonely.
Do you know how many hearts you have touched?
If I could hold your hand one more time.
Kiss your lips, say goodbye.
My one and only man.
My green man…..
In memoriam
Remember the family, remember their lives
Young people, taken before their time, in their twenties.
Ninteenth century losers in the lottery of life.
How did they die? Illness? Industrial accident? Food poisoning? TB? Who knows, but three people from the same family were lost.
Before antibiotics, before modern medicine. Life is precious. You never know when the grim reaper will strike?
And now? Death rates you would imagine during the black death. Loss of life and illness greater than World Wars. We can only hope that life will continue. But maybe changed? More peaceful, less stressful? We can only wait and see.
Memory of Stephen Hawking
Is it two years since he died?
The world has turned,
and moved on in space,
his time line has ended,
gone away from this place.
Professor of physics,
thinker of time,
despite limitations,
he was free in his mind.
Living with illness,
he did more with his thoughts,
gave us new insights
into the Universe.
Looked at Blackholes,
from inside and out,
and Big Bang theory,
he knew such a lot.
Famous for explaining,
in book and in words,
the working of the universe,
in ‘A brief History of Time’.
Apologies for this poem, it is not well written or rhymed, but the image popped up on my memories page, and I was surprised at how much time had passed. I wonder what he would make of the world now?
