For My Friend

Loved your energy, the way you managed to fill my days

Made me see things through different eyes

Your spirit connecting with my spirit. Just when I needed

Some light – you provided

There was always something to laugh about……or

Cry about…….or curse about – something real.  The

Beauty is in the rawness of it all.

Never thought I’d care but you wouldn’t have had it any

Other way.

So now I care and now you’re off chasing other worlds

Off to that new adventure, off to color some other part

Of the universe. Someplace that needs your touch

And somehow I knew it would come to this.  I’m just

Thankful to have known what little I’ve known, thankful

I could share this space and time. Take a good long, cool

Drink for me………

Find me among the clouds that drift through your mind’s

Eye and know that I will never forget your non-conventional

Behavior or the tenderness of your heart

You’ll be missed.
