Buzz

Did I ever tell you ‘bout Buzz
his life sizzled at the speed of light
ever blazing through the midday sky
and rocketing through the moonlit night

was a bright shining wonder
a glistening miracle to behold
a spirit like flash bang lightning
it seemed he would never grow old

streaking through the universe
whooshing like a meteor — alone
roaring up high on wings of dreams
like a blinding shooting star he shone

the sad news came last weekend
our dear Buzz was nowhere in sight
last seen wizzing ‘round a midnight star
sparkling — spiraling skyward into the night

we who truly knew brother Buzz
were sure it was what we’d feared
he had finally outdistanced time itself
and wham bam — mystically disappeared
