Farewell My Friend Farewell

I watch the sun set
      in a distant sky.
Fading
like a bright light
      on our Poetic Horizon.
I raise a glass to you Chan
      "Farewell my friend
farewell".

Chan's presence was like a brilliant light that shined upon us and made our days brighter. That light will never fade away.... This was a beautiful farewell for our friend, Chan. Nicely written, Scott.

Very well expressed. Goodbyes are always hard. Chan had a way about him. I hope that his passing was peaceful. Thanks for your visits to my work.
