Shining Through The Echo (For Robin Williams)
– By Melissa R. Mendelson
And Tragedy takes a bow
for it has silenced the world
under void,
and hearts are now left
shattered,
shaken
by news
that such brilliance,
such life
has vanished too soon.
But it does not go quietly.
Tragedy might have its hands
upon the laughter and tears
once shed,
but it cannot steal
what life,
what legend
touched the world
with
brilliance.
