"For My Friend..."

Just about missing

"For My Friend..."

 

“Does the silence ever help?

Can the voice ever fade?

Will the tears ever dry,

...the night say goodbye?”

 

I feel lost sometimes

- really do,

in all the whys and circles -

mind-paced

heart-traced

over and round and

over

again and through

and still I wonder so many whys

ways

reasons found, lost,

given, taken

accepted, thought ...unknown

re-lived.

 

All the questions ever and never answered

...so many

just

reasons -

reasons for the deep circles

my mind has brought into existence

as I listen and listen

to so many echoing heartbeats

- moments now frozen

in time and thought,

place and memory -

existence and

…not.

 

- even mine are a part -

 

Each a calling and calling for a presence

- some that were and others

that had never been.

 

There’s hurt and

pain in sharing

the moments of smiles and

our understandings of

meaning and meanings  both found

and lost

and yet we touched

we touched …you and I

in ways I miss

…again.

 

Laters…

Moved me deeply and for all the words or thoughts that could be said...the emotion and understanding here speaks far more loudly...

I have read this several times.. and each time I find a different path to the memory of a touch.. you always give more than just a simple verse..
