A Hero Lost to the World at Large

by Rori O'Keeffe

Overview

An old high school friend of mine passed away not long ago. Mike was a joyous person to know, and though it has been many years since our paths crossed, he has remained a positive force in my life through the power of the indelible memories he left me with. He was a rare person, transitioning from childhood to mature adulthood astonishly fast, yet he never made any of his peers feel inferior, and he was always approachable.

Mike was deeply admired by anybody who got to know him, and will be long missed by those of us who carry on, buoyed by our memories. This poem is my personal tribute to a truly great human being. ~500 words.

About the Author

[e-mail] Fools boast while the earth melts. Love comes just once a lifetime, don't let it leave you. Music drifts in like stars coming into view. Greed has brought us low. There will be another day when people are free. The one constant is change. Don't denigrate the ignorant. Lament their voices. The apochryphal stories of lunatics mesmerize the gullible. Snow melts and nightmares vanish all at once. Peace.
