To Don Carlson - My Room Dwelling Friend- In Memorium

So it's to say as much as everyone eventually finds a room to live in (my friend perhaps sooner than others) When he walked out though out on the town with generous courage confused a willing joy When he met our eyes out on the town with his runaway own waiting to share room I was sorry then sorry now Not remorseful then not now but hoping hoping he had a friend in his room So gone running to meet a friend (a great throng of friends to my mind) who waited just outside

Thank you Daver, for guiding me to this poem of yours. It gives me goosebumps to read it, but not in a depressing way. It has a rather uplifting, positive look at death, and not a thing to fear. A wonderful poem, excellent write! I love your work! Thank you for reading and commenting on mine. ~ Carrie

a very great write with an interesting perspective, if you have one or two true friends in your lifetime that is a blessing, sometimes people only come into our lives for a brief season, sometimes that is all that is meant to be, thanks for your comments on my writes, take care D-nyce

Daver, your poem is moving - a sad description very well written. No one has a friend in the room. They all wait outside for one to settle down and slowly leave. Soon enough you are forgotten. This is the way of the world. Highly passionate and emotional poem. -Mohammad
