Strobes of halogen lighting,
scan the secure glass box
All other museum lighting
is faded to darkest black
A complex labyrinth of lasers
invincibly grids the wooden floor
The centre piece,
is a slowly rotating diamond
The chiselled stone beautifully holds
then returns every strike of light
It stands proud upon a dark blue
fold of the finest satin
A flawless crystal
but with cuts considered crazy
Gentle hues of pink
laugh upon the surrounding matt walls
The polished gem
is an acoustic memory, which echoes his art
He was the genius piper
who exited life's gate; one dawn in 2006
