TRIBUTE TO LEONARD

You were never a Vulcan
But an extraordinary human

Now you've gone

To where no man has returned
New pilgrim in other dimensions
Seeking new plains of existence
“Live long and prosper”
My childhood friend

LEONARD NIMOY

Born: Mar 26, 1931 • Boston, Massachusetts
Died: Feb 27, 2015
Leonard Nimoy was known for his acting.  Particularly for his role as the unemotional Spock.  But what many people don’t know that Nimoy was a student, and a writer, of poetry.  He was also a skilled narrator of other’s poetic works. What is interesting is the poet, unlike his famous character Spock, was skilled at describing a prism of different colored human emotions.
“Live long and prosper.”

Pictures of You
By Leonard Nimoy

You’re surrounded by pictures of you.
 Here you are so young and handsome
 Here you are with a wife or two
 Here you are, so happy and then some
 Surrounded by pictures of you.

Your walls are covered
 No more space
 Too bad, you’re such a pretty face
 And so adored
 Do you ever get bored
 Looking at pictures of you ?

You’re hit with a spotlight from above
 Your fans are screaming words of love
 You’re always so busy
 Don’t you get dizzy
 Looking at pictures of you ?

(Want to venture a guess as to who, this poem was dedicated too?)
