LEGEND

When I heard of the passing of Sidney Poitier I wrote the following poem:

What happens when legends pass?

Do we do what is necessary to have their purpose last?

Does their loss encompass us like a cast?

Does their absence hit us like shattered glass?

Does their impact touch individuals or the mass-es?

Do we begin to view their journey through rose colored glass-es?

Do we see their lives as beautifully watered green grass?

What happens when legends pass?
