You crossed my mind
as I crossed the Rhein
that very day.
You were in my thoughts
yet I did not write.
Now I will
just remember the times
as they were.
I will try not to
think of your suffering.
Although I am so very sorry
that it was too much to bear.
Your struggle is now over
But I am so thankful
our paths crossed
I got to know you,
we worked together,
made wonderful theatre
You impacted my life,
as you did for many
in such positive ways.

- Comment from author about the poem: I woke up today with the news that a colleague in Australia committed suicide. Being far from home brings a sort of distance to news like this and it is very hard to process. Yet he was indeed in my thoughts that very day. It is awful news and I, like possibly many, wish I reached out when I had the chance. R. I. P
