     Two friends parting,
     one young; one younger,
     and beginning a pilgrimage
     in search of himself.

Come with you?
I’m not that young –
though the rest of my life
will not be what I intended,
and I’ve intended nothing.
I would not have wanted
to see you die –
but would have wanted
to know you ‘til death.
You know,
men are harder to replace
than women, but women
are irreplaceable.

Perhaps on my holiday –
only two weeks a year
to visit far-away old friends,
that are always too far.
Maybe we’ll meet again at 40.
In a bar. In Athens.
We’ll drink Ouzou
and share a Greek whore.
We’ll celebrate this moment then
pulling at our youth,
and reflect that every moment
is a poem,
that only need be written down
as a reminder.

*grin* and maybe you will meet again. A very telling poem about two friends who will journey through life to meet again. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Nicely done, Craig
I especially liked these lines

men are harder to replace
than women, but women
are irreplaceable.

because they are true. We are irreplaceable.
