Two Years Gone - 1. Chapter 1

For Carlos

 

Life rushed on day after day, then

Two years had passed—still hard to say

Though time has flown, and you’re not here

Through your words, we travel and keep you near

Your pen could craft a world unseen

Paint a canvas of bright and vivid scenes

In every word I write today

In all your tales, your spirit stays

You left us pages to explore

And so, you live in what we adore

 

An engine roars and I think of you riding

Wind in your face—unrestrained, freefalling

A ghost on wheels—free, untamed

Just like you lived—bold and unafraid

I see you still in flashes of light

A silhouette in shadows that dance at night

And when the sunset warms the sky

I feel your spirit riding by

Two years away, yet ever near

In every memory, every tear

 

Two years gone yet here you stay

Your voice, a whisper, steady, always

And while you journey ever free

A part of you remains alive in me

So, here’s to you my treasured friend

May your life in motion never end

And when that rumble echoes low and strong

I’ll know it’s you who is riding on.

Thank you to Val, and all who helped in keeping the memory of our friend alive.

Friendship proclaimed and it is perfection. The spirit of the man is in your words, and I believe he would proud and humbled (well, as humbled as Carlos could ever be :P )  by your heartfelt poem. You speak for all of us who miss his presence. Thanks for this. 

Thank you so much, Gary. I appreciate these kind words. I definitely would get a reaction, lol, but I hope also, that he'd be proud. xo
