In Memorium

The In Memoriam segment at The Academy Awards is a highlight…

It happens so often.
Breaking news interrupts
and informs us of someone who’s died.
Blindsided, we Google
in search of the facts
that fake news can easily hide.
When Hollywood loses a star
that we’ve loved,
It’s not just the sky that grows dark.
We grieve for a friend
that we never have met
who has brought lasting joy to our heart.
Their death’s a reminder
that life is a mist.
Like a vapor it’s here and then gone.
But silver screen greats
can still be found in their films.
When we watch them, it’s like they live on.
