Friend

As we march into the snowstorm

we reminisced the battles fought together.

Only those who have walked the path

would recognize the familiarity of the footsteps.

It’s been a long journey. And more is to come.

Among the glory and misery

what I remember the most is the kindness

and the willing comradeship.

I am grateful for our time, memory, and stories.

May our roads cross again.

May we meet with our hearts contented

in the hopes and dreams accomplished.

Thank you for the walk.

Because I’ve been foolish,

I know this meeting was not an easy one to set up.

It turned out to be a good way to commemorate our friendship.

To observe a like-minded person

operating at a close distance has been a unique experience.

I am grateful for the opportunity,

since it has been a delightfully pleasant one.

Well, the end is here now.

Please take care.

Make it your friend, your tombstone
After all, it’s your last bed mattress
Laying your head for one last time
In the end, one must finally rest.

So now: strive. Invigorating heart
Widening eyelids, breath in scents
Of life, confess your love in human
Beings, swim upstream to flow of
Time.

Make your death
your friend.
Do not be afraid.
