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.

Of His Immortality
A playful fiend he is, mortality
twirling at his fingertips the souls,
As fragile as the strands of harps,
at a snap comes gurgling symphony
Yet again, the playful fiend took its toll,
A man of artistry and of legacies,
heavy is his arm with lyrical musings
heavy is his heart with rhythms of feelings
Countless lyrics can never amount,
to those he crafted to live a countless lives,
In forms never forgotten, his music
is a vessel of immortality,
The world shall never forget his name,
fraught with a million of emotions,
a million of memories,
a million of lives,
Even in the hands of death,
through his craft he shall be remembered.
Even in the hands of death,
through his craft he shall live.
