Upon silent wings
You flew away
At nights end
Birth of day.
A day that you
Are absent from
My dear friend
Where have you gone ?
No more pain
Despite the fight
Thin and frail
An unwelcome sight
Upon white linen
We said goodbye
I travelled home
You entered sky.
Those silent wings
Speed upon
To take my friend
His journey now begun
To a better place
I hope its so
A gentle place
He must go.

Oh how I hope my loved ones are in a gentle place. This was touching. Im sorry for your loss.
thanking you
Saying goodbye is a difficult thing sometimes but less so if we feel that the other is going to a good place. This poem speaks of this. Nicely written
thanking you
This is awfully sad yet beautifully composed. Of a friend lost but the friendship lives on in this warm-hearted poem. Of those bereft of friendship would find succour in your words, as I have. Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Tony.
very kind comments, thanking you
Inspiring... hopeful laced in sorrow...
appreciated thanking you
I really like this. I can relate bc my dad is dying of terminal cancer in the hospital. Great write. Great rhyme and rhythm. I especially like the line "you entered sky".
So sorry to hear of your dad, god bless him, much appreciated, thanking you
Beautiful words and message. Our departed friends and family waiting in a gentle place until we meet them.

a hauntingly beautiful farewell message - may his/her soul rest in eternal peace
