Too soon
death came
calling for you
in our arms we held you tight
guided you through, that infamous night
a giant of a man
who liked to live big
stoic
heroic
you could fill a great castle
with your beautiful
long loud laughter
you gave your exceptionally large kidney
to our exceptionally witty
niece Kitty
Generous
is what you should be most remembered for
this being your closing door
your final chapter
your brilliantly orchestrated
way out
with few regrets
and not much to doubt
a flood of tears rolled down our faces
as you got your news
on Thursday 15.01.2026 you would finally get rid of your blues
a comfortable bridge to the other side
to let go of this horribly cruel
cancer fight
in our arms we held you tight
till death came close
and took you through the window that night
no time to think
no time to loose
last precious moments
on Earth with and without you
we opened the window
as you took your last breath
-just as you were slipping to the place
in be tween-
letting go of all the tensions
you whispered about
all your many adventures
climbing, biking and hiking
were your last delivered words
as you slowly slipped away
to an -other- dimension
out you flew to end your fight
out you flew…
with your wings spread wide
your favourite song
came on to play
shine on you crazy diamond
seemed quite fitting
for this chosen moment, away
your playlist was set at random
as brother James, your daughter Paloma and I
held you in our arms upright
it was you
who chose this moment to die
to this particular song
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on you crazy diamond
Shine on Minky
in the realm
Be Yond
a huge thank you to everyone who supported us these last few months.
There are so many of you, we are eternally grateful
Sin é an chaoi / it is what it is
Love,
Samira x
