A tribute to Heath, sent in by one of our readers…
A break through did come
As a light would be spun
Ethereal in being
Marked a momentous run
His senses exposed
As Inner-self implodes
Shared essence of truth
As the story was sold
Iconic Heath Ledger
A star you appeared
Just a good Aussie bloke
With an acting career.
