He exited this life

near the end of

his sixth decade.

 

He thought the door

locked at the

attempts made

 

to shake the open

door,  push and pull

with energy to fade

 

away from trying

any longer than he

could have stayed

 

and so he did

what everyone on

earth forbade.

 

He sat beside himself

without meds that

might have saved

 

him to think, but he

still couldn’t get in

so he made

 

the decision to leave

abruptly and adieu

he bade .

 

That’s the unnecessary and

tragic thing he

decided to do

 

and left so many to wonder

for years how to bid him

a very good adieu.
