White Dove Flying (Photo credit: knowhimonline)
He said that the walnuts
Looked like a brain
Defiant, built sand castles
Out in the rain
Divined all the mysteries
I couldn’t explain
But unlike that last winter
He won’t come again
He seemed like a man
But was only a child
My friend of lost youth
So brilliant and wild
And we dreamed of the roads
And the mountains we’d climb
Before sad sickness took him
And left me behind
He said that the clouds
Were angels in disguise
He made each day a wonder
A precious surprise
But I saw the light dimming
In his kindly brown eyes
And his efforts were slipping
However he tried
I miss my old friend
A true gift from above
He made the fantastical
Just what he could prove
But I see him still winging
In the flight of a dove
And I hear his sweet singing
Whenever I love
