In memoriam...

You are
         the winter's day, caught in
                 these words we pray,
   you are a falling star.
                            You fall
in plumes of mist - you fade
             and yet persist
    you are a falling star.

                      We dream
we, left behind - our hopes
             our hearts are blind
                  you are a falling star.
You flew
      you saw the sky - we know
   you dared to try
you are a falling star.

             You feel
no cold, no winter's chill - we lift
       our words, for yours are still
                  you are a falling star.
We weep,
    we mourn the winter's day - your souls
          are lifted as we pray
  you are a falling star.
