In Memory of Iwamatsu Mako
(Voice of Uncle Iroh)
What happens when an actor dies?
his word no longer flies
from lip to ear
Will no one hear
the words they say
the parts they play
To fade from memory
to forget the word
to forget the way
the words used to play
In your heart
within your head
awaken the soul that's dead
When an actor dies,
Will his work fade away?
the words un-done
the parts un-wound
the thoughts unsaid
when the actor's dead?
When his word no longer flies
from lip to ear,
Will no one hear
the words they said
the parts they read
When the actors dead?
I was so sad when I heard Iroh's voice died...he really brought him to life. This is my little tribute to him, and even though poetry isnt my thing, i thought this turned out pretty good.
please, R & R, flames are welcome, they are needed to boil the water for tea
