A Life in the Day
George Martin: 1926-2016
I have read the book
its cover lies closed
the blackbird now
with her folded wings
floats within the sky
among precious stones
.
the dirt will be wiped
from our hands as
we march from the grave
the whole world came
you helped to give us love –
all that we ever needed
.
now you have followed
the path of your sun
into the waiting arms
of your Lady Madonna
you’ll now forever roam
immortal fields forever

So sad
Thank you, Sheldon! 🙂 So many heroes gone but we have their work to enjoy, thank goodness!
Yes
John, this was my time, an era of precious memories. My partner (I married a bass player – well somebody has to) worked with George and was inspired by his artistry with sound. As a result he worked with acoustics all his life and still operates acoustics for stage productions. George Martin touched so many lives and blessed a whole generation with a new dimension in sound. Thank you for your poem. Sally
Thank you, Sally! 🙂 And here I thought drummers were the most enigmatic. 😉 George was, as he put it, “the realizer” of the Fab Four’s ideas putting them into action and making them reality. Without him, I may have wound up with a different favorite band and entirely different musical tastes. And to think he did all of that fantastic work on only four tracks is staggering.
Lovely thank you
Thank you! 🙂
Simply gorgeous, John.
Thank you, Laine! 🙂
A great talent passes, as so many have, this terrible year. A very reverent post.
Thank you, Frederick! 🙂 The first two months of 2016 have seen some great losses and some irreplaceable talents, you’re definitely right.
