Heath Ledger and you all have inspired me. I took the liberty to quote many of you and I hope you don't mind. Thank you. :ghug:

--- Quote from: jerasjr on Jan 22, 2008, 06:52 PM ---Somehow this Poem keeps coming back to me;
Funeral Blues
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
W. H. Auden

--- Quote from: BBBOY on Jan 22, 2008, 10:41 PM ---To be an actor is to touch the boundries where we are most afraid to go. To be an actor is to push beyond the zone of comfort and show what we least want to see. Heath Ledger was able to do that and to touch our hearts and souls. He made the deepest and in the end the greatest sacrifice. Thank you friend, thank you. May you play with the angels now and be at peace.

there is no sorrow, no pain, no suffering
there is eternal beauty and calm
You are forever young.
thoughts and prayers are with your family and loved ones

--- Quote from: tpe on Jan 22, 2008, 07:33 PM ---I must go home and have silence. My surroundings appear pitch black for me right now.
Who knows the depths of sadness of the heart?
What can one make of it, except to recall the words of the Poet:
Come, said my soul,
Such verses for my body let us write, (for we are one),
That should i after death invisibly return,
Or, long, long hence, in other spheres,
There to some group of mates the chants resuming,
(tallying earth's soil, trees, winds, tumultuous waves,)
Ever with pleas'd smile i may keep on,
Ever and ever yet the verses owning--as, first, i here and now,
Signing for soul and body, set to them my name

--- Quote from: lancecowboy2007 on Jan 22, 2008, 11:17 PM ---When I heard the news
from the office jokester
that you died of drug overdose
I would not, could not believe it
I held back the urge
to google you
to find out for sure
Too afraid, to find the truth
Whatever the cause, your death
reminds me of someone else
not unlike the friend I miss so much
but also Marilyn Monroe, at the height of her career
Some may compare you to others, but to me
Marilyn and you are a pair of shining stars
breaking new ground where others see not
Being your own role model, when others see only the pretty face
She was smart as well as gorgeous
You have character and intelligence, as much as good looks
What ever the cause that took you from this earth
You can rest assured that your work, your legacy, will remain forever.
Candle in the Wind, it is just as appropriate for you, as it is for Marilyn:
[modified without permission]
Goodbye my good friend
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your game
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a fan
Your candle burned out far too soon
Your legend will be told
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh the press still hounded you
All the papers had to say
Was that Heath committed suicide
Goodbye my good friend
From the man who loved you from afar
Who sees you as something as more than sexual
More than just a movie star
With love....
