One day they won’t be here
One day they won’t stay anymore
A stream of consciousness response to a powerful empathetic connection with a dear friend and their fear.
Separate lives
Separate experiences
Briefly
Somehow
Empathy connects
…
He gives me so many things, least of all the homemade bread.
Clouds smothering stars
While lifting others to goals
Still my own fight
Hopeful for ourselves
We all strengthen each other
Magpies overhead
Trials overcome
Hidden cats watch with caution
Connections will fade
Cross ocean with fear
Find joy raising others up
Birds chirp in these lands too
Warm sun, distant lands
Sharing the path with others
Sadness in leaving
Brave foreign journey
Cool breeze over cobblestones
Bonds not how once seen
Would that I could grant a wish
To allow him to run back.
For a dear friend, with love.
Some days, I want to live forever in the morning…
One day, I may finally get there.
