POETRY  
     
  I MISS You, Friend
Wet tears
fail to wash away dry tear pain
wordless fury smolders in a long held
fight to free the freedomless.
shattered mind
seeking increments of sanity
to sodder fleeting particles of sense into
one whole thought.

Ah, my dear dear friend,
you gave life and limb in many ways
to heal from small child
terrors. Loveless times,
Torture scenes, clear messages
drawn in living words
by all your inner selves
defying the, "No talk" rule

I have your gifts,
and letters full of
sharing
love, doubt and fear,
unanwered questions,
longing just to sit beside me
while I type,
lean against me quietly, simply
BE.

Dry tear Pain
beneath wet tears
mingles with the
silent echo of your
weeping unheard child

Your passing
robs me of a friend beloved
our sharing
mutual loves and interests
Nature, beauty, music, reading
Art and colors,
Soul musings

but so much more, it deepens
my desire to
seek a
future restoration
for others known, unknown,
who live in Hope
one step after another
built upon the
strivings of your victories
and every
breath of faith exhaled
from past and present
seekers of their
Whole

I miss, you friend,
more than heart could ever show,
or would,
but Rainbow colors were our
backdrop 'gainst
tomorrow

Today they shimmer through
dark cloud.
Tomorrow
we see clearly.
