Michelle must be devasted, as of course must poor Jake. He,s lost his best friend. It,s just so sad. This might sound silly but whenever I look at a picture of Heath now, I,ve got a tune in my head. The one played at the end of BMM when Ennis shut the wardrobe door in the trailer. I can,t get it out of my head. God bless you Heath.

Darn it if the radio station didn't play 'The Wings' as I was driving to work this morning while they did a news update on Heath. To hear 'The Wings' was such a a painful reminder. Wished I could have pulled off the road.

I Am Not There
by Mary Elizabeth Frye (1932)
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sun on ripened grain.
I am the gentle Autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
In deepest appreciation for all the lives you so deeply touched in your too short life.

Bruce, thank you for posting this poem. :'(
Lumière:
It is helping to write these little poems.
I posted it in my blog, but thought to bring it here too.
You Rise Still
you slipped away
unobserved
like a silent whisper.
your spirit rises
like soft strands of smoke
from a quenched candle.
you rise far
from this chaos and loss
you rise still.
there is more
beyond this earthly vale
distant shores
where footprints remain
forever etched in sand.
you are there
where shadows are not
where your sun gleams
you are there
you rise still.
you slipped away
in the light of day
I pray you felt no fear
close to the end
for you rise still.
bits of your soul breathe
in these bereft hearts
you are here
even as you rise far
from this restless haze
you rise still.
Rest In Peace.

Wow I cannot believe that Heath Ledger passed away. I am still in shock at such a waste of a lovely man with so much talent. I feel so sorry for his family and Michelle and Matilda. Rest in Peace Heath...
