Forever Lost
I look up, his eyes sing their sweet song of sorrow. How I dred that this day would come, when my shared spirit would be gone, lost forever in the vastness. A soft smoothness caresses my cheek. As dark, stillness surrounds the reflection of time. He seems to have vanished forever in this reflection. His smiling face is always locked inside my heart. The memories of youth are treasured always. In your youth, you fear nothing, waiting for the future with striking fists, and charishing the sorrows of the past. A young boy's tears are not trivial, these glass tears float off to the stars. The flame of sorrow, of youth, bursts from the metalic shine. The ship blazes on its neverending journey through the sea of time. Adieu, my brother. Carry with you a thousand thoughts. We are travelers, forced to wounder the sea. Until the moment comes, I shall charish your youth in my heart always...
