Challenge
Listen to "Blackstar" by Bowie then write whatever comes to mind/heart/soul, beginning with, "Something happened on the day he died. Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside. Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried."
69 and Climbing
“Something happened on the day he died.
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside.
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried.”
Don’t need a why (near or far)
When heart’s can fly (raise the bar)
No wrong or right (a Blackstar)
Last breath of life (live-well roar)
at sixty-nine (just one more)
Bowie died (a Blackstar)
Earth to Space, many hearts held high.
An iconic hero who bridged many divides.
No one can replace, but in spirit we’ll try...
for a Blackstar,
found in all...
A Blackstar.
