"A hero gone"
Rosa Parks (Rosa Louise McCauley)
February 4, 1913–October 24, 2005
Oh to have such courage
To live a life ideal
A resolute as such unknown
A nucleus on fire
Brevity of rhythm
Spent on much more than just one breath
And all to know that I’m alive
In a cosmos I had changed
It fails all logic
Who can say: What I do has worth!
An inborn proclamation
A desire for something more
To trust, or keep on trying
An alarming appeal of sense
Ends a blaze (though seldom beheld)
Lives a spark forever remembered
(By me, this morning.)

yea, pretty crazy. This and the declaration of the new Fed Reserve Commissioner last night just left me thinking in terms how time is just flying. Cool poem dude.

Very cool Tim. “And all to know that I’m alive, In a cosmos I had changed” Pretty amazing, huh.
