Song: A Stone Would Cry Out |
I know there’s a lesson in here/
But it’s so hard to find/
I’ve been searching my mind/
A little pearl of wisdom for later years/
When the thread of this life starts to unwind…
And you move like a rolling wave/
One that don’t fade when it’s gone/
Beyond a doubt it gets so hard that a stone would cry out….”

“Throughout the Storm”
I think of him when it rains.
I talk about him when I see lightning.
I feel his approach in the thunder.
And when I finally muster the courage to do something I love,
I give him tribute, and send him my love.
I cry when I see his name.
And I try not to let anyone see.
I allowed myself one day of crying, a weekend of mourning,
One short and selflessly-driven trip to his hometown.
Perhaps one the only truly spontaneous things I have done.
He brought peace wherever he went.
He had a supreme gift of Silly.
He could argue his way into and out of your logic.
He could sit with you in silence and have a whole conversation.
He touched the hearts of strangers.
I still can’t believe he’s gone.
I still think that I will see him again.
And yet I know that I won’t.
Not until the end.
My sweet friend, I remember you.
