July 10, 1942 – May 16, 2010
He's been gone for many yesterdays
And though he was no longer young
We thought he'd be around for many years to come
But the last grain of sand fell to the bottom of the hourglass
I always thought him to be perhaps a real-life elf
Did he board the white ship and sail away?
I think if he could choose to, he would want to stay
But he was wise enough to know you can't fight fate
He always put on quite a show
But he never acted like he was better than another
He treated those he met with the kindness of a brother
He was always kind and humble to everyone he met
Disease does not discriminate
Cancer stole away his breath
But even following his death
The works he created remain
He was a small and humble man
But he was larger than life
~Spectra~
This poem didn't really come out in the style of Ronnie James Dio, but is instead a tribute to him.
I was thinking of this song when I wrote it.
She's been gone since yesterday
Oh I didn't care
Never cared for yesterdays
Fancies in the air
No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Love should be a simple blend
A whispering on the shore
No clever words you can't defend
They lead to never more
No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Rainbow eyes
Summer nights are colder now
They've taken down the fair
And all the lights have died somehow
Or were they ever there
No sighs or mysteries
She lay golden in the sun
No broken harmonies
But I've lost my way
She had rainbow eyes
