It was with a sad and heavy heart that I learned of Ron's death. He will be missed. My condolences to his family, his friends, and to the members of this family. This is a poem from my "Passions Gallery" series. Way back from 2000. We would always refer to Ron as "The Wizard," which is where the inspiration for the title comes from. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. he walks it is the only way any other way would not be it is the way that he has chosen he seeks he has given his life to find the answers of the soul it is the way that is before him he works trying, trying, again working to find the solution it is the way that he will learn he finds finds the words now they come to him as a fountain telling the stories of a lifetime this is the way the way of his life the way of the wizard it is a lonely way but for him, it is the only way -- That which gives light must endure burning. |
