Shining Light That Will Never Fade

Your ghost is everywhere in this building.

Right down the hall, there’s a glass room with a piano.

In that very room, I can recall a fond memory

of me stumbling upon you playing the piano.

You looked so happy and free.

Where are you now?

Are you safe?

Are you as happy as you were playing the piano or keyboard in my room?

I miss your crooked smile.

I miss your integrity.

Even though, I didn’t know you well or for a long period of time.

I felt connected to you.

It felt as if our spirits were kindred.

You were one of those people that just changed my life within such a miniscule amount of time.

You showed me kindness at my darkest hour.

You were there when I needed someone.

You just got it. Everything. You were blunt and unafraid of everything.

You durst to fight for every cause.

You were my muse many days when my dark shroud drowned me and kept me from opening up.

So closed I kept my heart in these macabre surroundings.

Your bravery kept me going and standing up for what’s right.

My only regret is not telling this to you.

However, I trust in my heart that you knew how much your friendship meant.

You told me that I could do it.

 You looked me dead in my eyes when money, once again, got in my way,

that it will all work out.

You promised me I could do this.

You told me you know that I could do it.

You barely know me and you believe so strongly in me and my cause.

Tears slide down my face as I recall that very day.

We spoke while laughing softly as the sweat dripped down our faces.

We climbed to the top of a mountain that day, literally and metaphorically.

I hope that wherever you are you’re remembering me,

 keeping in mind all of those who care for you.

I know there’s many more than I.

A person as great as you, will be greatly rewarded in Heaven.

Dear good friend, I miss you.

You’ll be on my mind and in my prayers.

In this place, though I haven’t been here long, holds memories.

The memories mainly consist of happy times even though it was a bleak period in my life.

I was questioning many things.

My sanity was one of those many things…

There were  numerous amounts of ominous thorns that threatened to

pierce all that I hold dear in an impressive short instant.

Even though we haven’t spoken much at that time, your friendliness

made me feel at home in place so unfamiliar.

You reminded me that Jesus can show through others.

Simple gestures of kindness were your gift to me.

I am eternally grateful to you for all that you’ve unknowingly given me.

I am the kind of person who is an open book;

on the contrary, I am also hard to really crack about my troubles..

It wasn’t a difficult thing with you.

It was never a burden to my conscious to bare all to you.

You are like my brother. You are a friend that can never be replaced.

You’re supposed “small” acts of kindness, really made a large dent in my

hardened interior and you’ll forever hold a special place in my heart.
