Nirode Ray Poet Free verse

My Friend Has Gone

My friend has gone
this time, faraway alone
Sadly 
nothing has changed
the moon still dangles on space
waves break with foamy faces
rain drops on green pallet
the robin gorges on strewn millet

But why does my heart  ache?
an emptiness resides in silence
sometimes I murmur with no spell
Life goes on, they all say
but it's hard to digest
My friend, I won't see you again
an anguish, a morbid pain!		
But you will be in my memory
in my mind, till my journey ends
So long! be tranquil and get rest.
