Farewell to the son of the sunset hair,
your sun has set too soon.
The sky is mourning in its lair,
her cries obscure the moon.
The world grows dark upon your course,
for one less light here shines;
the weeping wind blows rain clouds hoarse,
for sunset hair she pines.

Dedicated to the young man who tragically lost his life last night. Your world mourns you…
Meanwhile, Melody Muses... 
Deeply moving poem my thoughts and prayers go out to his family
Ah, thank you so much. I know they would really appreciate that!
So beautiful – though sad.
Blessings upon those left behind.
Thank you, sweet Wendy. I know that they will appreciate your blessings!
What a lovely tribute, Melody–so beautiful is poet-mourning, even as it aches the heart and makes it long for death. Praying for all the family and friends of this young man. God bless you–love, Caddo

Thank you Rosy! Such a tragedy…
So touching. Beautifully written. I am sorry for the loss now known by those who are left behind.
Life is so hard and cruel sometimes, isn’t it? Thank you for your compassion – I am very touched by your concern. Thanks, Lori!
