I sit with silence

I wait for these words  

I hear your voice 

trickle through shallows

my heart can’t quite comprehend

it’s a bitter taste, this grief

it singes a spectacular cerulean sky

one you would have found beautiful

because you were beautiful

the one who could calm even fierce storms

so as I rage against demons and

the inexplicable forces that stole you

I feel your spirit, calming

your energy is still here

guiding the way toward acceptance

thank you, my friend

for the time we shared

for the support in times of need

for being such a presence in our lives

know you are loved

watch over us

watch over the boy

we miss you in the quiet moments

we miss you in the loud ones

each and every day

rest easy, Sweet Lane
