Tribute to Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015)
February 27, 2015
A winters day
Life goes on
Joined by thousands
But minus one in particular
A hero died today
It was you
No decorated war vet
A sensitive, artistic one instead
You were the face & voice
of uncounted hopes and dreams
Mine and so many, many others'.
The embodiment
Of a best and brightest future
A child of love
Achieving belonging, love and purpose
From a challenged beginning
Turning difference and isolation
So relatable
Into greatness.
Your inspired work,
Your art made him real to us
He still is.
And you lived so much more;
A good example
On screen and off.
You will be missed.
You said
"A life is like a garden.
Perfect moments can be had,
but not preserved,
except in memory."
We will remember you in ours
And your gifts will live on.
Thank you.
