For Troy
(Anguish)
We are gasping
at the silence,
the strings
ceased to vibrate
We are lost, we are lost
In the emptiness
we have flashes,
and then your there
within us again
for just a sliver
of time
Your absolute joy
of amazing rhythm
still lives on breathing
new life in memory
(Celebration)
In the thousand sighs of sorrow
that have rippled from our lips,
when the pain has hooked his anchor
and when our hearts just cannot sleep?
Know the stars continue to shine
his joy and love will never cease,
the moon lays down tomorrow
so that we may find loves peace
For in the twinkle of his eyes
his essence of laughter shone,
his intentions never wavered
they shone bright as the sun
As eternity kisses his lips
and the lilies begin to weep,
know he is just there waiting
for us to join him in sleep
Troy James Wood ... 06.06.1970-24.02.2015
