I remember (A tribute to Benjamin Cowie)

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

The Dream (A Memory of Joyce Cowie)

You came to me in my dream
I remembered once again who I was
The memory of a life long dead
With you gone long cold
I lost the last of my past
I was free to lose everything
I stare at the dead ground ahead
Lifeless and barren it stands
But I could give you one last hug
You gave me one last gift
A simple feeling of not being alone
Just one last contact with the world
You are a ghost
You are a dream
Yet you are the most real thing
The only anchor I had until you went
Washed away in life's stream
Now I'm left alone once again
To lose that life once again
Yet indelibly you are printed
On my heart and my memory
Your ghost hand on my heart
Forever guiding and leading me.
