RIP my Friend

Always here

By Joshua NashPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I refuse to believe

The “Dead”

Are actually dead!

How many lost souls wandered streets

So bleak that they appeared dead

While living?

No dirt confirms to me

That a soul

So dear

So loved

Could be gone.

Does anything ever really die?

Are we all not

Just drifting dust

Souls of certain magnetic pull

Never to be truly lost

Never to be truly

“Dead”

RIP My friend

Tho I know you’re never far away

Hearts remain tied

To this plane

While you lend your wings

To a greater cause.

No love lost

Only gained

You always say hello to me in the rain
