    Shooting star

     If you listen its getting quietier and I don't like quiet
    It's as if he were gone, or about to go
    Its getting lower, slower, quieter
    Maybe his talent lay in vision
    a vision he once had
    'My photographs are my children'
    'They will be around when I am gone'
    and then quickly, quietly he was gone
    like a shooting star, that forever burns brightly

    Thankyou x

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
