Oh my dear friend

how I wish you were still here

to grace this planet.

Your most fervent desire

was to be in union

with the Divine,

maybe that's why

your sweet soul

flew away so soon.

You embodied so much light, 

your kind words and compassionate sentiments,

your music & poetry

& invitations to stroll,

you were earnest in all endeavors.

Your friendship was like a blossoming flower,

fragrant and beautiful.

I know not where you are,

but there, where you are,

surely, is a place of grace.
