Of many bits of paper….
Newsprint old and new
Spiderwebs and a rosewood table
No spectacles and some brandy everyday.
Of fearlessness, humour and all things political….
Languages, passion, food and travels…
The little odds and ends of a full-life,
A painful life, a principled life…
A head full of curly hair and greyish blue eyes,
A man like no-other
A person we could all hope to be….
A tireless walker, teacher and friend
A wish for you upon the stars,
I hope you can see the world better now,
Have found some questions to ask up there…
Gather the forces there too, will you?
You made the world a better place, now lonelier without you
And heaven needed you too.
Fantastic. Painful, even.
