John's laugh

A laugh that will aye linger
in my heart,  and in my ear.
An initial snort,  followed
fast by an explosive aftershock
that rang louder than the first
and to the last day I saw him,
that never faltered,  remained true.

A musical soul that found
electronic expression when
fingers failed,  and over ether
shared feelings and thoughts
without words

A true man,  a kind man,
a caring man,  to the last
John thought of others.
In finding his peace,
he leaves our world a better place
for having known and loved him.
