Ode To a Friend

I feel I"ve lost a friend this night.
Released from her imprisonment,she has fled.
No longer a slave to this life,she ascends to a higher plain.
Without the weight of her burden,she becomes as a leaf in the wind,
skittering about care free.
Her laughter filling the air.
Sad that I can no longer hear it.
