This is a poem I have written for an old friend of mine who died just over a year and a half ago.
I wrote it for his funeral but was unable to attend =[
since then it has been lost to the rubbish tip that is my bedroom.
So this is for Thomas Marshall who died in a motorbike accident 12/06/2009. All your friends love and miss you man.
All around us are thoughts and faces,
as many as there are stars on a cloudless night.
Each one twinkling, shining with vigor,
a crystal pattern across a dark winter's morn.
And half closed eyes stare at those in the sky,
at those we have lost and those we have yet to see.
For in darkness there is always light,
and in light there is always love and memories that will never fade.
This is as sure as the suns path in the sky,
its golden rays illuminating our world,
soothing our spirits and helping to remember those who still shine.
Thanks to all who read this.
