Where Is Joe

tribute to my friend who died awhile ago

Sometimes I asked,
Why silence is much better than anything we can do
Back on the 90's generation look forward to a new century
About to come and yet it came
Perhaps
Among the trees fruits yield as friendship blooms at dawn
Gray clouds and gentle breeze
Darkness embrace the sunrise
Rain trickles, dust descend to a final rest
Unseen 
Lost 
Back to the ground.

We just young, the few of us
Those days where green green grass are greenier
As we often walked on an empty road
Shared its moment beneath the stars
Under the baked sunlight till cool dusk 
That we never knew when this life be gone.
So long my friend, so long...
Life continue as death do
Never will we see or hear your laughter
Indeed you depart from the absence of goodbye
Farewell Joel from your good brother and a friend
Sleep now and wake now doesn't matter anymore
