He took the midnight train going anywhere...

A summer's afternoon just three days ago, the world lost someone great.
A singer. An actor.
A son. A brother.
A friend. A lover.
An inspiration to many.

"Earth lost a person, but heaven gained an angel."

It was 3am the morning after when I found out about his passing.
Being a follower of Glee, I just didn't know how to take the news.
Speechless.
Confused.
Shocked.
Heartbroken.
I didn't know what to do.
And I still don't.

Just a mere two years ago, he was just couple feet away from me,
Singing and dancing on the stage with the rest of the Glee cast.
I had been an advent follower of Glee for the first three seasons (come the fourth, I got busy with school and could not find the time, but I followed the first half of the season), so Cory was a big part of my life - every Tuesday night. Finn Hudson was one of my favourite characters on the show, one I actually felt for.

It is a terrible loss, especially on his family, the cast, and Lea.
Please pray for all of them as well as for Cory's soul.

My Life is a Ghost Story

Found poem: a poem made by combining or rearranging fragments of prose, as a speech or story, into a verselike structure.


I am currently reading The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill, which talks about a woman and her life as an African slave. Although I tend not to enjoy reading this type of book, it is surprisingly compelling. Here is a found poem I have written for The Book of Negroes, a compilation of various texts from the book, up to page 108.
