A deadly silence,
Shrieks into my ears.
The music of the rain,
I could have felt,
Had you been here.
Reminiscences of,
A phase back in time.
Two mates, like
Sworn brothers in arms.
Tales of our glory,
Days of our prime.
Where are you now?
Gone without a trace!
For too long, may I say.
With unshakeable hope,
I wait here nevertheless.
It’s been an unending night,
Without you my friend.
But I raise this toast,
To a life of bliss for you.
And the hope of meeting again.
Amen!
