Db Poem by Andy Caldwell

insanity laughs it's feeble face
as one who helped shape my musical taste
died from cancer yesterday
and I think now how time takes all away
but his music lives on- yes his music stays
we met once many years ago
he heard a poem I wrote long long ago
he said I was gifted my words intense
my words touched him- they made sense
he left us his music Space Oddity
China Girl Ziggy Stardust and all
I pray that his end came without pain
death takes each of us exactly the same
