harsh death
for a gentle poet,
tears are falling
though his songs
still resonate
deep in the heart,
crowds gather on
a december sunday,
scattering poems
and flowers,
imagining a world
where peace and love
still echo louder
than gunshots,in
john's strawberry fields
we will go

beautiful. absolutely touching. an escape is sometimes needed for all of us. your poem weighs my heart down with longing, as i suppose it was meant to do.

tragedy is cutting your finger. comedy is falling into an open sewer and dying.

All he was saying, was give peace a chance.
His memory lives on in a big way, how could we ever forget!  
What a great tribute and sign of the times we live in.

Kudos Michele~

Who could forget John--the Beatles were my favorite band when I was 11 (I'm 21 now) and they will always be classics. He lives on!

All he was saying, was give peace a chance.
He will be missed as long as there are strawberry fields..
which we know will be...forever.
Just...Imagine.
Hugs for this beautiful tribute Michele~

and within his quiet solitude
they couldnt leave him be

even then

the vultures
swarmed

if but for a glimpse
of this "God"

The man they so loved
they destroyed
with blood
of the same hand

which created his own

Beautiful Michele
one day, I will see it for myself
