It appears to me,
that with a diva like
Whitney Houston,
I can clearly say
that divas are required
to take those big risks
and end up singing about tragedy. .
. . . and to sing tragedy well
is to live it . . .
. . . to wear it with both agony and beauty. . .
.
Why, oh why, must some of them be destined
to die
so tragically?
A beautiful talent,
a great diva,
and
a sad, sad loss.
