ALI

This is dedicated to my friend Ali, a flash in our lives, gone too soon, but still here with us. Today, I remembered you so much and the words just came out.

ALI

Hanging low from a blemished sky

A rainbow of mixed emotions

Colours fused in vivid memories

Wet with tears for an undaunted life

 

Touching the souls

Remnants in the mind

A playful smile with a glint in the eyes

 

Never forgotten and always there

Through the brush strokes

Of mystical flare

 

Time was short

Yet time was full

Could we have lived some more

Would it have ever been enough

 

Never in doubt

Your unrelentless love

Ubiquitous presence

In the heavens above

 

The mind is strong with memories

The heart is weak with love

Will we meet again beyond here

Will you recognize us for what we have become
