His was a soul of fire
that danced on the solar winds
giving him the sight of lost wisdom
through fallen eyes composed.
He was neither charity nor fate
and in a moments rush
he could break the body
or love the sin of hope.
He understood simplicity
but garnered the extrodinary
wondering if all the world
was truly a stage.
You see I loved him
as friend, a brother of sorts
on that would stand to battle
or be gracious with his heart.
Of his heart,
it was full and compasionate
but always was weak in strength
for a world that cares little.
Upon hearing of his passing
I looked to the wind, my friend
and heard you laugh your freedom
from the solice last felt.
And true to your eyes
to see the world apart
the Sun dimed once
as the angels gathered you up.

a beautiful tribute to your friend. I know that he your words and am sure he would approve.

There's a feeling of contentment Now that you are here I feel satisfied I belong
inside Your velvet heaven" Depeche mode
