-In Memory of Murdoch-

And all the rivers cry...
The life of me cannot begin to set sight
Nor justifications be acceptible.
The measure, now in the moment,
Of the blessing to know you
Filters so far out
Old friends reunite and new ones made
And I, lost in a world of confusion and disparity,
Am there in harmony with the rivers' tearful deluge.
Reflections of our closeness and friendship
That always served excitement and anticipation
Of our next get-together
Are at the forefront constantly now, and
Although, momentarily, expanding the need for grief,
Assuredly enlightening my soul with knowledge of
Just how beautiful you were.
I sit now, missing my friend, scared of the
Realization that the depressions, when they attack,
Will no longer be able to be easily dissolved by
My unexpected phone call.
So, I'll look towards the sky, and into the space
Of night. I'll look for the wisdom, genius,
Laughter, compassion and love that has carried
Not only me, but infinite others through, in the
Hearts of all you've touched
For there your spirit radiates.
And from this moment on, the reflections of you and
Of us shall again cause me to excite and anticipate
Our next get-together.
Until then, the stars are brighter here, I know,
For God has a champion with Him now.

one of the most incredible pieces of poetry i've ever been privileged to read, purity. a beautiful eulogy and tribute to someone who obviously was beautiful themself, and who blessed you tremendously while here with you. i thought of my brother throughout reading this, and i cried along with those rivers. the ending was magnamious. awesome!

This was an AWESOME poem! I think your late friend would definitely appreciate it. You have done a great job putting your emotion onto paper[well, in this case the computer screen] like few others I've come across have. I sympathize with your loss of friends. Change and loss often go hand in hand, and both are painful.

A great read. Thankyou for sharing.

I want to take a serious moment and thank each one of you for reading this one, and your responses. It makes the rivers cry again for such great show of support. This one hit too close to home, and your responses have definitely aided in getting through and over the grieving period. THANK YOU.
