A/N- Not my usual style, as you know, but I figured, hey, I gave Sirius a poem, so why not give Dumbledore one, he surely deserves it. So here is my "tribute to Dumbledore." Please R/R! I need feedback on this kind of sad poetry thing, and what better way to do that than reviews?
Disclaimer- Harry Potter not mine. Comprendé? And if it was? Dumbledore and Sirius (especially Sirius, who I still love like crazy) would still be alive and kickin'.
A Phoenix Song by BeachBum754
Twinkling eyes that always laughed
A mouth with corners forever upturned
Memories that will eternally last
But there was so much left to learn!
Too soon the loss, too late the tears
The phoenix was too late to heal
The sudden death that seemed so false
And yet was irreversibly real.
He always took the blame
Kept pain and hurt at bay
Now there's no shield for all the anguish
No one to say it will be okay.
The ultimate, the good, the great
Has left a hole in all our hearts
That long white beard, those bright blue eyes
Are now a broken world apart…
There has to be a loophole;
This has to be a lie;
That's not his body lying there,
Dumbledore surely couldn't die.
And yet those half-moon spectacles
To any other could not belong,
And so it's true, and all that's left
Is a great legacy and a phoenix song.
