An Ode For A Friend's Departure Poem by nimal dunuhinga

It was a Sunset and the darkness gathered gradually
But I saw the same Sun in the pale sky they call it Moon.
My dear friend where are you now?
Your boisterous smile really it's a song without words
Like a murmur on a string of a precious Cello that haunts me frequently.
In this dangerous Gambling I reshuffle the tricky card pack
And still you shine like a hidden trump card in a corner.
My dearest friend just give me an impression of your lonely whereabouts where the darkness exists forever?


(I dedicate this poem to my deceased friend *Ranjith.Wijesiriwardane who drowned in a solitary Lagoon.)
