Dear Eric, Knowing is not necessarily meeting Meeting is not necessarily talking Talking is not necessarily with words Words are not necessarily be spoken. This mind, a wondrous enigma Playing a game so subtle and powerful Merges swiftly with things of joy Rejecting that which is painful. A friend unknown yet well known Through his writing so touching And the best that I liked most Is the one he wrote on ‘Life’s Carousel’. Though geographically distanced And we had never spoken nor met There is in me all the while a great respect I held for this man, b’coz despite the pain he wrote well. Down deep I feel he is a wonderful soul ever-lived Now he is gone, I am longing to see more of him Alas!! This journey in time, warrants an end Of everything that sprout and spread around. It may be a divine play and a past time my Lord But, we mortals hardly prepared to face this separation The law is made and all is done Oh Lord!! Please take care this friend of mine. One day will definitely come When I too shall shed this mortal coil And, my friend if the divine will permits We will meet in the misty eternity. Nothing ends though the body is gone Words written, thoughts enshrined Shall follow me closer than my shadow And at every turn I will always remember you. I pray that in the heavenly garden you find the solace With good care and love eternal embracing you all the time This eternal journey has no stop I believe every end is just another beginning. Take care my friend. God Bless you.
