Three times round he walked <br />And three, sat. <br />Once for all, once forever, <br />He laid down <br />Body and soul <br />For comfort, family, and <br />Rest. <br /> <br />Resting to begin again, <br />One foot on Earth, <br />One to keep step <br />With Lights <br />Dancing <br />Just out of reach. <br /> <br />Reaching, catching the <br />Tail of a comet, <br />His foot left the Earth, <br />Left mattress, needles, <br />Paths he wandered, <br />Paths never walked. <br /> <br />Lifted up, hurtled outward, <br />Passing the night <br />Of tears, replacing them <br />With twinkling <br />Laughter of a star.<br /><br />elysabeth faslund<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-best-friend-s-nephew-is-a-star-tonight/
