Challenge
We lost a lot with the passing of Chris Cornell. To many, he was a mentor, a brilliant writer; an inimitable voice. Until June 30th, this challenge is for the friends and fans to write their stories, poems, tributes: anything about him. We will be putting together a book for the Cornell family, of the posts entered, as well as making copies available for purchase, donating all proceeds to suicide prevention. In partnership with Seattle Refined, the most shared post will be read on air, and posted on seattlerefined.com.

Magnificent Horizon

This empty hallway, echoes of your voice.

Shadowed with rust,

the whispering calm, crash of waves,

In the distance.

Remind me of my younger years,

Remind me of my strengths & fears.

Armed to face another day,

Bold, due to your memory.

These bright, open meadows remind me of you:

The calm, gentle wind blowing through.

Combing through grass, subtle wind,

Just as you ease my soul, from within.

The strength of the tide has pulled you in,

But none of us Is free from sin.

And, this, we know was not just you,

A powerful force overcame, overthrew.

Fierce as we may feel to justify that day,

May we all see the horizon-

As although the sun sets, our eyes on,

no one can deny it's magnificence.

The essence of your shadow is the moon,

Illuminating us in darkness.

Even in the blackest, most solitaire night,

In your harmonies, we find solace-

In your remnants.

I find comfort from within, knowing

You will sing to us again-

Howling at the gates

Of sweet heaven
