The month of June
Came all too soon
Way too soon
For the Mayfly
An all too common
Circumstance
Not even a chance
To say goodbye
His life was full
Unbelievable
What could possibly
Be missing
Guess he knew
What he had to do
To free himself from
His prison
Mayflies live
On borrowed time
Disappear...
And fade away
They spread their wings
And fly so high
In the little time
That remains
Hid it well
But down inside
A tortured man
Was hurting
One final act
The curtain was drawn
As to why...
Remains uncertain
A life cut short
Bourdain is gone
He was so much like
The Mayfly
He flew so high
In his given time
So hard to say
Goodbye
Mayflies live
On borrowed time
Disappear...
And fade away
They spread their wings
And fly so high
In the little time
That remains
