ONE LAST WAVE ( A TRIBUTE TO CHRISTOPHER REEVE)

Folder: 
JOURNAL#30

admiration is taller than might

loss has a face and it cries for the light

and you will be there

in that place just beyond all sight

reborn to vigor and vitality

and I will look back on this unbelievably dim

day

and think it but a confusable dream

from there in that glorious grace with you

all fresh and a new

enjoying the truest reality

perfection unmaimed

eyes forever open

never in any pain

so fair well dear Christopher

Somewhere In Time

I shall know you again

and such wave of joy

shall never end.................

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this moments after hearing of Christopher Reeve's death. I admired his joy his faith and his courage throughout his ordeal of being left a quadraplegic. I just keep thinking now he isn't paralysed anymore but my heart goes out to his bereft family he had to leave behind and ofcourse imagines of the ending in that movie Somewhere In Time he did come to immediate mind.
