A POEM FOR A FRIEND

I left you behind old friend
With only a sign above the river
To say where I have gone
And I know that life
Like that mighty river
Sometimes dries and leaves
Us all stranded, wondering
The clouds above watch us
Like the eyes of all the
Missing gods. And now
In the brisk chill of the
Early morn, I think back
If my voice could only
Reach you, then ere' the
Morrow' I'd be heading
back home
