With the passing of Leonard Nimoy I figured it was time I posted something here. I couldn't really think of anything else to post but a poem I'd written. It breaks my heart to know he's gone, but I know he did live long and most definitely prospered.
There was a man
He told me to be logical
And so I studied
There was a man
He showed me what it means to be selfless
And so I did my best to be like him
There was a man he taught me nothing is impossible
And so I lived with an open mind
There was a man who made me see true friends are worth everything
And so I cherished my friends above anything else
There was a man that told me to live long and prosper
And so I do my best to be healthy and be as happy and successful as I possibly can
There was a man who told me to be me
And so I could do nothing more than live how he'd always shown me
There was a man who told me logic isn't everything
And so I was creative and vivid with my dreams
There was a man who compared life to a garden
And so I thought about my life in a new light
There was a man who is here no more
And so I cried until I realized he was still here
There is a man that's here in his words
But I can't say I won't miss him
There is a man who I can visit in old films
But I can't say I won't get a little teary eyed, even if it's a funny moment
There is a man who warned me not to mourn
But when someone feels so out of reach there isn't more I can think to do
There is a man who some say has died
But I can't help but feel he's still alive through us and all he has done.
