You never were the cosmic universe You never were the warmth of the sun You were not even its reflection as the moon However, you were every blade of grass And could have been every crashing wave Or each ripple of the pond But You Were the restless soul Structured in appearance yet Roaming with a formless mind But You Were the sleeping life Surrounded by love yet Suffocated by loneliness

Message to the Absence of Your Body
You never were the cosmic universe You never were the warmth of the sun You were not even its reflection as the moon However, you were every blade of grass And could have been every crashing wave Or each ripple of the pond But You Were the restless soul Structured in appearance yet Roaming with a formless mind But You Were the sleeping life Surrounded by love yet Suffocated by loneliness
I wrote this from my friend David who felt his only choice had become taking his own life. I miss him dearly and originally wrote this and thought one day I would finish it. After going back to it nearly a year later to work on it, I determined it was actually finished. Thoughts?
