I see you sitting As you have so often Wishing at the past for who you lost I see you losing The Game A life Who you were Who you could have been As you enter The dark night Walk tall as you did as you will again Be content you will be remembered You have a legacy of strength and love You have been real A Light over rocks A voice in the dark Now you rest I see you in the end As you sleep The sleep of the innocent And I remember you "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!- Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted- On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore- Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!" Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore." |

You have been real A Light over rocks A voice in the dark Now you rest I see you in the end As you sleep The sleep of the innocent And I remember you ------------ walter, this is excellent... written with respect and tenderness I love the line "the sleep of the innocent" this is a perfect tribute piece. thank you for sharing it. take care my kind poet friend. jm Some things cannot be explained by verses that rhyme, They are not measured by the commitment of time. Some emotions run too deep to be described by words, Forgiveness and understanding-remain the most beautiful words ever heard. ~Janet Marie~ "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly" ~Lao Tze Tao~ ~Butterflies are meant to be free~ |

Very moving, it seems I've been loosing friends more and more each year, dear people of good hearts, like this friend of yours. this is a very well done poem to them. Thank you. Joel. I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel. |
