To the friend I lost

A few lazy steps and we meet again
In the eyes of friends
Who keep the secret locked
Between the minor words we exchange
Broken and forever incomplete

A few fallen leaves and you’re back again
As encounters with fate resound in dry colors
And every gust of wind carries sighs
While I await the world to crumble
But it has denied me a response

A few short hours and the feeling is gone
Even with the taunting trees overlooking me
And the mute lake mimicking the clear skies
As silence mourns the loss of sounds
An outline of your vacancy

A few blank thoughts fill my lungs,
The moist air short of suffocating,
Formulates clouds that dream of the past
When showers were cooling and earth exhaled
Those quiet minutes engraved in my mind

A few minutes of silence then laughter
Through the storms and thick humid woods
And in every hand I hold from now on

As I walk forward with you nearby.

Monster Slaying

When I step out,  I sense you  I feel the weight of your eyes following me I hear the whispered thoughts even if you don’t scream them ...
