Now the silence descends
like the Lady of Darkness.
Yet his eyes remain wide,
both remaining behind.
Then the stillness is kissed
by the rays of the soul.
As it leaves, laced with grace,
to the end of his road.
Thanks, RC, it's pure envy but I will have a glass of Queensland's finest and raise it to you and your work (whichever comes first) . Best wishes H
