A Life Has Ended
<>
A life has ended, with the passing of a friend,
the memories
of times, have come to an end,
their threads wove the fabric of an earlier
day.
A life has ended, with the passing of a friend,
sunrises and
sunsets, bright days and dark nights
circled again and again, and gave
context to this life,
moment after moment, their life was lived each
day.
A life has ended, with the passing of a friend,
lives have been
touched by the dear one's journey,
laughter, tears, hopes, fears, a life has
come to an end
memories hold their spirit alive, in my own life.
A
life has ended, with the passing of a friend,
the loss of future moments,
that will not be,
grateful for moments shared, that nourished me,
moments
lived, in casual belief, they would never end.
A part of me has ended,
with the passing of a friend,
be they gone from the earthly plane, their
spirit soars,
to renew again, in summerland, heaven or another life,
I
know not where, but their love remains with me,
for in this life, we friends,
did share.
I miss my friend, but they will always be near, inside
of
me, inside you, and all who took time to hear,
the music of this life so
dear, a life now silent,
living only in the memory, of those who survive.
