Lament for a Friend...Again


Reach for the sky regal age'd friend
oh, life long and full
grand buttress of the earth,
time here is bittersweet

again

gnarled grace leaning
against growling winds of time
we call you the gargoyle,
a vision of demonic fear
but grace,
beauty beyond fear,
will be our memories of you
your empty shell
holding countless fairy tribes
in our earthly imagination
to dream

again

be at peace, my friend
we will again meet
and I will write prose
at your feet

again.


Sad story of beauty lost to the winds, but not forgotten in the heart.
