Never Forgotten: For a Dear Friend Just Passed
Leaves a’ rustling
So near to me
I feel your hot breath
I smell my fate, close
Wild
Wild I started
Grew too fast, too bold
Grew beyond myself, grown far too old
Yet looking back now
I regret, I fear
If this is really the end...
How did I get here?
My skin, now so dry
So vibrant it was
My colour now gone
Gone forever, anon
As thoughts peel from my frame
My solid roots fray
I glide through sky blue
I drift in breeze fair
I’m watching all again
As if I were yet to press play!
I land on moist soil
I rest on this rich earth
Eyelids heavy
I’ve found my last hearth
My resting place
My journey complete
My adventure has ended
I cecum to fates grace
That breeze was so sturdy
That wind so forceful
It carried me quickly
As if remorseless
Yet as I lay here
Thoughts are so peaceful and clear
I see myself, I see my worth
What I did to this world…..what I left in my berth
I now know why
As dawn becomes dusk
I’m finally satisfied
They saw enough.
