Dear Friend

Such old friends.
Bookends.
Bucked all the trends
But life doesn't give it lends.
You are gone
Yet shine on
Living next to me
As the wind
- With that invisible touch.
Remember when our hopes were pinned
And mattered so very much.
Now they float downstream
And you are free to dream
In your heaven.
I can hear your laughter
Only through the mosaic colours
Of a broken memory.
Can you hear my sigh?
Did you see my heart
Waving goodbye.
Have you felt the tear
That stings my eye- cloud your own? .
The good times
You and I have sown
In eternity will bloom.
Our flowers in rain.
Moonlight in gloom.
They will sway and bend
As I swallow my pain.
We will meet at sunset
Dear friend
Again.
