Ziggy's Corner: This is a dedication to Makoto Iwamatsu, may he never be forgotten, and rest in peace in the Lord's peace.
Ginseng Tea
Tea calm and warm,
Wisdom not forgotten, no,
Tears pour, and calm me.
Never to be lost
Not in the annuals of time
Tears pour, and soothe me.
Ginseng Tea warming,
But no one sips from it now
Bye uncle, for now.
Hearts sing in sorrow,
Minds keep the doors locked tightly
Never will we turn.
Never will we forget, nor abandon.
Iroh will live on, different but never the same,
Good bye, uncle till we meet again.
I know, not completely haikus, I tried to be true to both Mako and his character. I hope you all liked it. I'll miss Mako dearly, his voice made Iroh, and I know it will not be the same. Thanks for reading. Good night Makoto, where ever you are.
