Departure

A gentle sigh escapes
His lips as the life
Leaves his body.
His eyes become dim
And his warm heart
Cold,
As his soul
Is released from
It's cage.

Sometimes I forget
What it was like
When he was warm.
Sometimes his light
Escapes my shadowy
Memories,
But I shall never forget
His departure.
