I don't want to use the same subject as Jeff did in his elegiac Haikuesday post, but I will pick up the theme.

Loss

A singer silenced
Nevermore bringing passion
To listener's ears.

A dancer made still
Energetic movements locked
Forever away

A poet buried
Concepts swirl in the ether
Never given form

A lover unloved
Never knowing the one who
Could have made him whole

A voice and a dance
A poem and a love, all lost.
We are diminished
