leaving traces - yet unfinished

I'm unhappy with the line "his Facebook friend's reactions now evoking spaces". Not only is its meaning not exactly clear, but alternative expressions in the mammer of "others filling the (gaps or) spaces the deceased left" would also be off the mark. The chorus is supposed to deal with the traces he left, not with the process of filling the gaps. I'll have to rethink.

I've brought my good old Penguin Rhyming Dictionary with me to the office in hope that it will prvide some inspiration. I think I should give its author credits what with her book having been my reliably companion over twelve years:

Fergusson, Rosalind

The Penguin Rhyming Dictionary

Harmondsworth : Penguin, 1985

If I don't find a viable rhyme for "traces" I may have to re-write all three variants of the chorus.

I may also add a bridge after all. And the lyrics might 'make it' into my 'carpe diem collection'. You see, I already have an idea for the bridge - stay tuned ;-)
