My tears are for me,
Not thee.
For I have lost a dear companion
Who made life and friendship
A new and special joy...
A multi-dimensional experience
Of sharing;
A true communion of spirit.

My tears are for me,
Not Thee.
I cried for you every day
Of your suffering.
But, now you are Free...
And I, and all those who love you,
Are left alone in a world
Suddenly without substance
By your leaving.

My tears are for me,
Not Thee.
They come, not with regret
To deny death,
But, rather as an affirmation to Life
And with gratitude
That we, though briefly,
Were privileged to transcend
Time, space and doctrines
By finding...and recognizing each other
Again.

What the mind refuse to comprehend
The heart KNOWS
Beyond doubt...
No-one ever dies,
Nothing is ever lost.
It's only re-discovered
In a new location,
In a new guise...
In a new friendship.

Aloha, Arrivederci, Abeintot, Shalom,...
Go in Love...
Until I see you, again!
