A Friend In Passing Poem by Richard Wlodarski
A Friend In Passing
A Friend In Passing
We didn't know you
Your life's worth...gone
We didn't know
You long enough
As a true friend
But just enough
To know your truth
You were an artiste
Way beyond your time
On road less traveled
Lost in wilderness
Like so many artistes
You enjoyed having fun
Sometimes way too much fun
Happens to the best of us
You were such a smart guy
To now acknowledge it
Then we hadn't sight of it
Now we've come to be versed in it
Eclectic
In magic
Of living
By daring
Colorful reputation
As engaging eccentric
Exciting
Dizzying
You were a Goliath
Dressed in David's torn clothes
Sling shooting through dark times
Wakening to White Light

A touching tribute to a beautiful artiste and a friend. Thank you for sharing dear Richard.
Sincerest THX to Bharati and Sylvia for adding my poem to their favourites!
Is this about THE Ian I knw, Richard? Excellent words about the late Ian. May he R.I.P. Thank you for sharing TOP Marks. To My Favourites
Sylvia, this poem is not about the Ian that you know. It's about a friend of mine that died way too young. Thank You for your kind words, top marks and addition to your favourites!
Thank You so very much, Friend Bharati. The reverend presiding over the funeral service liked the poem so much that she asked for a copy. She too is a poet.
