For John Alexander Wearing

 

Another loss propels me back to writing.

In shadows cast by sudden loss

Echoes linger

Mario Kart and giggles

Gin tonics and meandering stories

Campfires and a midnight swim

Memories flood

A void where once a soul did dwell

Gone too soon

In the ache

I await for a flicker of life

See you on the other side, my friend
