To Hope

 

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!
