Of Years



Where are you dear friend

Where are you hiding

Amidst the flowers of Spring

Or in the burnt grasses of harvest

Are you set amongst the stars

Cast against the darkness of an unknown

Or in the rising sun

Breaking the wane

Waking the world

Where are you old friend

Are you the brink

The poised we settled for

Or the wind

Are you the chimes that prove an invisible force

Or the hand

The comfort easing this descent

Where are you lost friend

Are you the mourning bird's rise

So settled on the first song being yours

Or the last light peaking through the eyes of the old

Where are you once friend

I hear you in my stories told

Of the once upon

The remembered glance

I see you in their smiles

Your reflection

In these tears

Your glimmering salt

Faded by the lack of years

Can you hear me friend

You always could

The lost eyes

Stark lips

Reminisce

There you are old friend

Immortalized in stone

Etched out

A reminder

We were not always alone

Your resting's peace

Minds us

We are all everywhere

Alone
