Time stops for none of us.
the door closed quietly
he did not look back
he was the last to go
encouraged for years
to fly the next
now he has
and an emptiness
a grief descends
for the first time
I feel old as
never before
a hollowness
friends have died

an ending
so this is itthe door closed quietly
he did not look back
he was the last to go
encouraged for years
to fly the next
now he has
and an emptiness
a grief descends
for the first time
I feel old as
never before
a hollowness
friends have died
