Dean

These two poems are about a brave man I once knew who gave himself to save a group of children including the eldest of his two sons.

Savior

Headlights shine side by side,

ignorantly growing near.
One thought in his head
Save the young.

Three steps forward,
flash of lights,
screams cry out.
One blink of pain,
now he's flown.

No More

The sun shines,

The moon gleams,

but Dean is never more.

The wind blows,

the rain falls,

but Dean's end has come.

Screw the moon,

Erase the sun,

Forget the rain,

And destroy wind.

There is no Dean ever again.
