This poem was written as a tribute to Lemmy, Natalie Cole, David Bowie, and many others who have left this earth, whether too soon or not.  May they all shine down on us from wherever they are now, be it up in the sky or deep in our hearts.  Death is inevitable, but memories always live on. Blackstar fading into the evening sky Leaving this world for the very last time The sun is setting, red, violet, and gold As you make your way to your new home The earth below you now clouded in gray The color grows darker as you move farther away Leaving everyone you loved behind I hope that wherever you are now will shine All stars die someday

the water is rising filling up the room it's only a matter of time. I can't take this silence it's too deafening I can't bear it any longer make it stop. these words inside my head forming, metamorphosing flowing up from the pit of my stomach up through my chest and throat and into my mouth I can't stop them if I keep them inside any longer they will be the end of me I have to let them go for like me, they want to be free as well. and I can feel it any day now, any hour, any minute I will become completely submerged but I don't mind for I accept my fate with great dignity after all, it was I who chose this was it not?
