The Last Joyride.

In Loving Memory of Paul William Walker.

                                                               The Last Joyride

"If one day the speed kills me, do not cry, because I was smiling."

                                                                                                        - Paul Walker

        This peaceful face smiles out at me,

   Under a headline of tragedy.

Wake up Lazarus,

If only you knew how.

Come back to us,

Find a way somehow.

 

Burn down the curtains,

The audience still in shock.

Leave us uncertain,

The cradle will not rock.

 

Joyride through fire,

And through the fire walk.

Sail with the zephyr,

To the ocean flower’s stalk.

 

Sink to the bottom,

Fade into the blue,

Treasure unforgotten,

The lost treasure is you.

 

Give in to the rain,

And let the sirens cry,

Goodbye Lazarus.

No…Tell me why,

The heart retains,

How hard they try,

 The truth remains,

Legends never die.

                                                Kristan A. Hayne

This is an amazing piece in honour of an amazing man. I like the fourth stanza best. It is so well-written. The figuratives flow so naturally. This is inspiring.
