Down in flames

I saw you once,
before the ignition began.

Your works shall remain,
but no reunion will commemorate
what really came from
the real thing.

I heard the vibrations
(felt them, really),
as heart and soul was
delivered together.

Delivered...
for the amazement of all.

A final fire shows,
after a decade that led to goodbye,
and all I can claim to
is a five second salute.

As the time comes,
we all say our farewells.

But even now,
the meanings made
grow stronger

as the flames die.
