Timothy McMaster

Excerpts of a poem that written in Tim’s memory:

Death entered the concert,

And left,

Riding above the guitars,

Smelling of salt and blood

And dark tidal pools, carrying you away somewhere

Into worlds we have not yet imagined

Tim the explorer

Moving almost aimlessly

Making the first finds

One dark grey morning

Biking to morning class

The first red rose bud

Beside the river

One windy winter morning

The first thrown snowball

A hot August night

At a concert with friends

First heaven sighting

Star-filled summer grove:

Tim’s life a blazing comet

In the still dark night.
