He was a soul in a battle we couldn’t see,

Fighting a shadow, an invisible enemy.

We watched from the shoreline, loved and cared,

Never grasping the demons he feared.

He showed us his smile, but only a display,

A shining light on a stormy day.

While behind his eyes, the battle raged on,

A quiet, lonely war from dusk till dawn.

And so, we mourn the soul, tired and grave.

He fought until he could no longer save

Himself from the darkness, a heavy, silent sea.

But we’ll remember the light, wild and free.
