Eulogy

 Eulogy


He lay dead on a slab of stone

His gentle spirit to heaven has flown 

In death, more beautiful he grew 

His eyes foliage green moistened with dew 

His cold cheeks still color of rose 

His mighty heart in chilly winter froze 

Moonlight shone to reveal a smile 

Was he simply asleep, resting awhile?

Ethereal power around him glew

Shining like stardust of misty blue 

Imprisoned in time he remained

Yet celestial fire in him never waned
