Aftermath- One of my response poems

Aftermath

So now I look at tinkerbell and find it hard to smile
And peter pan looks sad and torn and burdened for a child
And Neverland chimes solemnly throughout my aching heart
It wasn’t just his music; his world view was his art
The way he brushed his shoulders off and took it with a grin
His faith and unabridged heart songs he conjured from within

A magic few could understand;
A most-brilliant light from one small man
That changed the way we view our world
- Now watch this mystery unfold
His wonders never cease to grow
And suddenly it starts to show
The love they all kept hidden’way
Afraid that they’d become the prey

Now it’s shifting to the surface, far too late to ease his pain
And I am trying oh-so-hard, to be grateful for this change
To see this new love’s radiance, and appreciate the mere glow
But it tears my wounded soul to know that death would be the hero.

That's brilliant, just the kind of thing Michael would love
