Gone
by: Chris Stoker
Silent
Tears fall but never land
Eyes bent
To the floor
Through the floor
Mind wrenched
Lost in fury and fog
Heart rent
And torn
Wounded and worn
Love meant
To find and be found
To bind and be bound
Together
Hands clenched
O to hold and to be held
Time spent
Moments cherished
Nothing wasted yet still gone
Life went
Splintered, twisted, knotted
Goodbyes sent
Murmured, muttered, moaned,
Unheard, unheeded, unknown
Silent
Tears fall but never land
Rest in Peace, Jim. We laughed with you, we weep for you. We loved you. We love you still. We will laugh with you again.
