Beyond Words and Music – David Bowie Tribute

I knew you by the shape

of the air

you left behind

It couldn’t hold your essence

Couldn’t fit within

the mind

I knew you in the silence

the pause between the notes

Free beyond the music

It rises

and it floats

Words may awe and dazzle

birth thought

to voice and form

but that is not

the way you roll

your spirit, won’t conform

Now you are a Blackstar

your colours

struck man blind

but the darkness is so daunting

the reaper, so unkind
