Camelot Descending

Camelot Descending
A Tribute to John Kennedy Jr.
By Tatiana Pahlen

Reaching the heights,
Plummeting down
Who pulled these strings,
can you stretch your doubt?
Was it God's or devil's craft,
Did you hear their cackle,
Was it laughter or cry?
Dice on the table:
one cheating player;
The bet went high on the pool of air.
A fog clutched the wingtips,
You dared to look down:
Earth mirrored sky
with waters, like ground.
Seconds away from the world's despair,
They gambled your life,
Your soul's been spared.

Once bravely saluting at your father's grave;
Your realm is the ocean
Amidst emerald waves.
