For a friend...

A long Goodbye

You play hide and seek
with slender friends
and passed mother.
The air hums low
Striking echoes in the dark.
It rips tears and
I long that God be with you.
May you play for years
so that I'll find you
before the silence swallows all.

Reply to Benkei It was deep, Benkei. I feel that you were melancholic or even sad when you wrote the poem...

It remains a small detail to know, at least to me. For a friend... was a dog or any other pet or a person that you felt attached to, and now he is gone?

Reply to javi2541997 thank you. For a terminally ill friend... Still here, receiving treatment but the treatment won't cure him.
