I don’t mean metal gold but those golden moments that make up life’s richest treasure your words
Images you made and shared but more importantly those exquisite for ever framed time that will never
Be forgotten when you laid aside your strength became weak as I in vulnerability you gained excess to
my soul still it burns with high flames out of a dark place it made it more memorable you divested your
Self of the normal selfish life as is so common among us as humans you walked you shared you stared at the
Torrent that was breaking from the storm with the same intensity that I felt a genuine heart knitted with
Mine what power it creates one alone will fall two together unmovable then your hands that you touch
And help with how they moved me I etched them into the sacred most hidden place where the heart is
Seated and over them is written purist gold then your eyes that sparkle we could be in the most
Untamed darkest forest our struggle for survival weighing its heaviest maybe the next breath our last
But then you turned and looked into my eyes it no longer mattered I awoke to the understanding alive
Or dead I saw a seal that was unbreakable it was not forged in powerful steel but emotion and love were
Wrapped intertwined first it is not touchable by you or I or any enemy or circumstance it just is such a
small word is it not but on that hangs all we are or ever will be yes it has dressing cars homes place but
Essentially and they exist by faith a trust that is a solider warrior that has never been defeated he can
Be betrayed and the other can walk away but the one who was true will be true for ever you said
You loved me as we walked familiar dark streets and then a darker world called far away alone I had
Comfort from your letters all was foreign danger was real death stood not in miles but in feet but a
Greater blow your letters stopped funny how a motel a song and other ways your name plagued me
Then you fell in love and married another I soldiered on was loyal to my country brought honor to the
uniform I wore I still visit the place we pledged to always be true no ill will is held if so then I would have
Been a liar I pray for you and your family little do you know your mother died on my birthday how
Strange that was I don’t dwell on those times I let them help me to be watchful if someone is found
Hurting I will be fist to give all I have to ease their pain not for any reward except the reward of seeing
Them find and know relief I mentioned hands and eyes can’t end without mentioning your noble head
Your governess in thought and deed where you hold enchantment as a fine jewel sometimes it depends
But in minutes or hours or cumulative years the facets you reveal wealth and riches that will never be
Found in a bank people act like they don’t understand that it is only transitory what you are is permanent
Unique irreplaceable you are an indivisible keep sake for the ages you represent unending exorable
Qualities that awesome doesn’t say enough what are you then you are undying thoughts once
Conceived and given birth they are forever the best description of being human here is an example since
I can’t share things about everyone these are words from my friend “It was never about becoming your
truth But getting you to question my answers” God bless you friends
