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
