If you could see us tonight. If you could only see all the people who came forth. We stood still, unspeaking, amidst the Hail Maries that echoed into the dark night. We stood in silent protest, unsure of our emotions, the tears that simply flowed down some cheeks. We stood as a black bloc, passively indignant, at a life's journey abruptly ended. We patted each other, we hugged and said consolatory words. We did all this in your honour, because of your contributions, and your unconditional friendship. We admire who you were, and respect what you have accomplished, in the far-too-short time that you were unfairly given. I stood there, thinking how I first came to know you through a CD that a friend asked me to sample. Through the years you reminded me that life is not merely about bread, butter, bills, credit cards and conformation. You dared to dream; more importantly, you dared to pursue your passions. It was a sad moment, but there was a quiet beauty amidst the sorrow. All these people who love you... The wake was a testimony to a fulfilling life, to one that made such a great impact in so many lives. Seriously, how can one be considered dead, when he lives on in the minds of so many people? You are a star, supernova. Even now I can still hear the flashing thumping terror excitement of percussion thunder. Thank you for having been part of our lives. It has been an honour on my part to have spoken to you in person, to have watched you perform, to have experienced the great things that you did for all of us. RIP Wayne, we miss you. |
