Sword And Stone

dedicated to a friend killed last weekend by the bullet of a coward

  

 

WAR CRIES…

 

Bring about

 

EVIL… from the darkness!!

 

Much to late

 

To catch a glimpse

 

Of the sword… swinging down!!

 

 

NOW…

 

Sudden release

 

Spiritual surrender… up lifted!!

 

Heaven’s acceptance

 

Begin a new journey

 

Protecting forever… in loved ones hearts!!

 

 

SUDDENLY…

 

I am the stone

 

Solid and strong… my faith lives on!!

I lost a friend to the bullet of a coward once many years ago. She saved someone else's life in the process. It's strange--the seeming randomness of the process. Why she was taken and I was left to live on. . . she had just as much to give as I do.

I raise my glass to your friend. He's going Home. No more doubt or fear or pain--there. Cheers, Dale.

This was a great testament to the pain, saddness, and anger that one feels when something this tragic occurs...but the thing that I like most about this piece is the ending, which gives a hopeful tone to your feelings. The fact that you can live on means that this friend will live on...because the best way to be immortal is by living in the minds of those who love us. Nicely written!
