The deep black brought me another
In its chemically-induced night under the sun
Unlike the last, this one more recent
And rather than lightly sad
This one bitter

No one is invincible
And for someone with that much love
That needs a place to go
It really needs to go

The drugs eased, but still
My heart rate slowed to a new low and sleep returned
This time dreaming of the return of a long lost friend

The simplest acts of kindness can enrich so much.

On foreign pillows
You spirited traveller, you!
Chasing more sunsets
forward, forward, ever on:

In second crossing
My friend was sparkling
Yesterday morning as we talked
Over coffee, side by side
One day before he was to set out again
Watching him shimmer
For one simple hour of warm comfort
He gleamed in a way that told me
His world was so very right
That chilly spring morning
