Our eyes, briefly, see with a hurtful clarity.Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind wordsunsaid, promised walks never taken.Great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us.Our souls, dependent upon their nurture, now shrink, wizened.Our minds, formed and informed by their radiance, fall away.We are not so much maddened as reduced to the unutterable ignoranceof dark, cold caves.And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms,slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind ofsoothing electric vibration.Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us.They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed.
