Dear Friend
Dear friend—
Here we are.
Your car has long disappeared down that
dusty, lonely
highway to Everywhere,
and I realize that this morning’s sadness
was a mere prelude to a prelude to
grief.
I don’t fault you for leaving.
It’s time
to collide
with life.
I grew with you knowing
always
that this, this
sad achy burning teary raw
Goodbye
was inevitable.
I only wish we had
more time
to gather
lilacs in the rain.
I wish you…
Everything.
joy
inspiration
love
daring
liberation
satisfaction
hope.
I wish you
all that you deserve,
all that you desire and dream.
My dear friend,
I wish you
roses upon
roses upon
roses.
