Unanimous Decision

Unanimous Decision

 

 

his quivering wings have finally closed

tightly shut---

but his floating persona

lives on in pugilistic flight

 

the resplendent ring 

encircling his memory,

effects a final bout

                     of tears.

A touching tribute for "The Greatest". We all will remember him. His personality was as strong as he was before Parkinson's robbed him of so much. Heartfelt words. Lydi**

Closing on oneself
It happens
Feels like the soul has decided to find shelter
Within
