Marking the one year anniversary with a re-posted blog tribute.

The darkness it was silent
No brightness filled the room
Until a Tiny Glimmer
Raised up its face from gloom.
It sparked and then it fired up
A flash of light it made
Until that Tiny Glimmer
Blew out the grimmest shade.
A laugh was heard from far away
A chuckle too was lit
And then that Tiny Glimmer
It had a firey fit.
The fire ignited everywhere
But nothing felt a burn
Because that Tiny Glimmer
Was gentle at each turn.
The laughter it continued
Respect and love was shared
That Tiny Glimmer was no more
A flame instead it bared.
And everyone sat in It’s glow
The warmth of funny tears
That Flame threw open solid doors
Annihilated fears.
The joy, the crazy, all at once
Side-splitting cheerful glee
That Flame we all partook it there
From him, her…
