A Forever Friendship

Words fall silent from my lips, at this poignant moment of human intensity

As a burning orange orb glides slowly towards its end on the horizon

Touch is all I have for his atrophied, scared, ravaged body resting in front of me

Words seem frail and dumb at that second. My blood runs blue and my heart breaks red

Can my fingers reach his soul?   Will he know the depths of gratitude I possess for his inestimable friendship?

Can the water from my eyes seep into his essence?  Can he can feel my love for him?

A glowing white moon gently rises from the outer edge of eternity

And a divine bright red, pink and purple friendship forever colors our sky.
