A Brother Gerhard Engelbrecht Poem by Dean du Preez

No longer able to speak in person,
You are gone now gone somewhere unknown
Does it matter because we met and have known
We were great friends while on this earth we roam

Ocean mist never fades away
Ocean breezes here to stay
Salty eyes
Surfing forever
Brother to brother never say never!

Cruizin about listening to The Offspring over and over
Rage against the machine
Counting Crows
Metallica
Cyprus Hill
We were always on the drive...chill

We surfed
We surfed some more
Music and surfing the ocean floor
We were free we were free!

Gerhard my brother from another mother!
Soul connection
Same direction
I see your face in my reflection

What have we lost
What have we lost
A brothers cost
A brothers cost

Nothing can take you away
More than memories here to stay
An impression everlasting
I still hear the sounds blasting

Distance does not separate
As clouds evaporate
A bond is strong
Lasting forever long!

Lets go down in thunder
Down together
Lets make life like lightning
Bright forever

Whats it like on the other side
Come around don't make a sound
Just be light
That's alright

Brother friend companion
Irreplaceable
Not Irretrievable
Unbelievable

Nothing ventured
Nothing gained
Wisdom is pain
Nothing is the same
