The Burden is Light

I tried to imagine my world without him,

secrets we shared, smiles and laughter,

hearts bonded in friendship.



When he was gone I lingered in the shadows,

looking for a soothing word from someone,

and then retreated into prayer



I regained strength, and I knew I had to fly

for the both of us, carrying his burden;

but it's not heavy - he's my friend.
