Of a loving soul,
this adolescent boy,
has vanished from our unjust world.
Swept forcefully to a new vastness,
just beyond our grasps.
Although,
when fading away,
it was not in peace and mercy.
Insteed,
it was in pain and unmistakable misery.
Now,
do not forget.
We will not remember of his last moments.
Insteed,
when his name flows through our ears,
joyful laughs and pleasent smiles enter way.
Such as a flower;
with its sparkling pedals appearing,
after a dark, and dismal winter.
So now,
the blissful happiness
is seared into our welcoming minds.
And to those such as me,
who were too late to whitness this eighth wonder,
of our everlasting planet
Imagine the most gleeful person you have seen,
and multiply them by two.
Still,
do not fret.
For his legacy shall continue.
Through our hearts,
his soul shines.
Forever in our memories,
lays the glorious,
Cody Parks.
I really like this poem. You dont write poetry that much (well, you used to not write it that much) and this is a gem in the ones you have written lately. I love how you took a set topic and expanded it and didn't make it look like a set topic, it doesnt seem like just Cody Parks's death, its a whole poem.
