Joyously,
Bach thundering in the
postlude,
leaving, just as he desired.
Celebration of a life so
well lived.
In modesty, he chose Mighty Lak’ a Rose
to balance Prelude and Fugue in D.
And as the last notes faded,
the evening sun streaming
through ancient, west-facing
windows…sunset
and farewell, friend.
What a thoughtful tribute. It brings tears to my eyes. And, your gorgeous flower allows me to imagine the sunset. "A life well lived" - what more could any of us want?

ReplyDeleteThanks, Barb for your kind words. It was indeed a life well lived and he had an easy transition. Much like the gentle and warm sunset at the end of the service. I so agree, what more could any of us want than to have had a life well lived.
