Goodnight my friend
I say my prayers
of the Earth ,
of the four winds
and the rain.
You have given all that
was inside your heart
and have moved on
to the quiet peace
of the shadows .
Where the winds have stopped
and the stillness is eternal.
I will think of you
when the cold ashes
of the night fires
are relit by the
dying embers
of a shooting star .
Only the mountains now
seem immortal.
It is true and right to die .
To navigate the high passes
over into the valley
of the shadows below .
My friend the hour
of the mirror will hold us .
I will look for you
whenever my heart feels
the tug of the
roadless horizon.
I will look for you
deep in the shadowlands
of mist .
I know
we will come together
when the winds blow
inside the shadow
of the shadows.
Goodnight my friend
travel that wind
into the mists
cold and damp .
And I will say
- my prayers .

This is a gem. Sadly beautiful and haunting. Thank you for sharing. The picture is lovely too!
Long time no see. I can feel it but can not express it. Love the poem and the paint. Goodnight.
So good to see you back again WL and with such wonderful emotive words.
Andy
Thank you Andy
Given all and moved on... that's as astute an observation as I can imagine. A touching collection of the emotions and hopes one experiences in loss.
