As I Read your Name a tear Falls on my Page
A Stark reminder with your passing, the vunerability of our age
I’ll miss our conversations our encounters and the like,
be it about work or theater or riding and Life
I’ve already missed your presence here but I always believed
I’d see you in the theater at plays you’ve conceived
A Soul that touched many and inspired many more
from the sound booth above to the hardwood Stage Floor
I hope your Soul lives on wherever it goes
And I hope that in this moment it has inspired some Prose
Godspeed to you Thomas my colleague and Friend
As your Soul Soars to heaven may this be a beginning not an end
