Find the Way

FIND THE WAY A good friend of mine Gone far too soon Had to escape Made his life a cell Wish I had the key To have let him out Can’t understand why He felt he had to live this way Remembering all the good times Helps to hold the tears away Far from my eyes I hold them trapped inside Fear of self-combustion Is my reason for this rhyme Smile on his face Adventure on his mind Some sort of untouchable Lines to climb A cause of loss unfathomable To the mind Only sources of them far Too easy to find Every twist in my stomach Seams another twisted line Feelings for a longing to Pass to any other place Locked deep inside the mind An as words just fall into place As what I’d imagine it would feel Like strands of relief within Every tear. I write Memories I have will last my life Souls drift on into the light Find a home to rest these eyes Hold a place for me but know I will follow far behind Fear much, I do but love is strong My will stay sharp as I know The blade is strong Fear no past The here is now So find the way and rest easy At peace my friend For today is the day We put all our ill feelings away And we push on knowing We will meet again some day JDU RIP AGE 25 2010

A very emotional and wonderful write, I enjoyed the read. Sounds like a real good friend. Death will always remain a mystery until we go ourselves. Caryl
