Sitting by the Past

Dear friends

Loved ones,

rivals of all sorts

pass by me in a river,

of pain and pleasure

 

On this bench,

by this beach,

watching the sun

dip slowly

highlighting my years

as I close my eyes

tears

down my face

and a Grin

 

The moments found,

the feelings felt,

the hearts broken,

all fresh wounds now,

old scars

just another lifetime now

 

Feeling the shivering,

melting,

pleasure of your touch again,

all of you

lost shadows,

still here now with me,

like you once were

like you once did

 

Nothing more now,

I murmur in the fading light,

save the embrace,

of one I lost so long ago

I know him when he calls,

Fierce and Loyal,

even through death

 

Not long now,

I whisper,

through the tears

Yet,

a smile still remains,

like the light of the sun

still reflecting in the moon,

like the lives

Ive lived,

ready to do it all again
