WHEN THE LIGHTHOUSE GOES DARK
Sir Tony Taylor
WHEN I FIRST VISITED THE COSMOS
YOU SPREAD THE WELCOME MAT
WITH YOUR KIND WORDS
AS THOUGH YOU KNEW ME
ALL MY LIFE.
MY POETIC LANGUAGEΒ
WERE NOTHING, BUT BABBLES, AND RATTLE,
BUT YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENTΒ
ENERGIZED MY FEEBLE MIND,
AS YOU EXPOSED YOUR TRUE SELF,
AS A HEART OF GOLD.
YOU WERE THE FACE OF COSMOFUNNEL..
WITH A MIND UNLIKE ANY OTHER,
JUST AN Β OCEAN OF KNOWLEDGEΒ
AND WISDOM,
THAT STAINED THE PAGES OF THE COSMOSΒ
WHEN YOUR INK BEGAN TO DRIP.
YOUR EXIT HAS CAUSED A DRAFT,
YOUR SILENCE HAS LEFT MANY WANTING,
AND I HAVE LOST A TRUE FRIENDΒ
IN THE CYBER WORLD.
BUT SUCH IS LIFE SIR T.
AGAIN I MUST ADJUSTΒ
TO THE DAWNING OF A NEW DAY,
AS YOU MUST, IN YOUR NEW ENDEAVORSβ¦
I TRULY MISS YOU SIR T.
WILFORD BARKER.

Hi Wilford, this is a great tribute write. I really miss Tony's poems and comments on Cosmofunnel too. I private messaged Tony a couple of months ago but I will keep that message private. He was such an inspiration to me too when I first started writing.
