I had a funny dream that night, it was morning and I was about to step out, then a might rain started, it rained that morning and there was such a great thunderstorm that I wondered if the skies will ever relent, then suddenly a gentle breeze swept across, forcing even the tress to bow gracefully in allegiance to the apparition of a magnificent rainbow. I sought solace from the apparition of the rainbow and took a sigh of relief as if all was well but........ .We were together on Christmas eve and so I took the news for a Mistake at first. Dude you bloomed into life like the Lilly of the valley, full of energy and bursting with confidence, a really fine fellow you were. Were I vested with the rare verbiage if Mighty Shakespeare, were Tennyson's lot at Virgil's passing my property, oh that I were gifted with David's magic touch at the harp or Achebe's graphic mind, that I should put a noble seal of honor upon thine name. Gone too soon but never will be forgotten. Adieu bro. JE
