Dirge
Good mourning
this morning
Missing lost friends
this mourning
Lost by death
cancer, car wreck, noose
Lost by life
marriage, children, divorce,
jobs, layoffs, moves
Lost by business
and busyness
comfort and laziness
"you will always be there"
Lost by cruel words
or worse
no words
Who knows what
can tip the balance?
Friendships die
some resurrect
not very damned often
I knew you
and you me
I remember us
laughter, joys
anger, tears
food and talk
I love you
and miss you
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Good mourning
this morning
How are you
friend?

Thanks for this today.
You're welcome. It is just where I am at this morning.
It's hard to say goodbye. This time of year brings up many memories. Thanks for the poem.
Thanks, Lynn. I don't even know why I was feeling all that when I wrote this. But it came out, and it says what I wanted to say, so...
Have I told you I appreciate your friendship lately? :)
a dirge indeed....sometimes it all catches up with you....and the older you get, the more there is to follow you.........
Indeed, Karen. And the older I get the hardest it is to not start "mourning in advance," if you know what I mean.
