Memories Of A Friend Poem by Nomad Omnia

Memories Of A Friend

Rating: 3.6


Protective father, loving mate,
Ugly ducklings in your wake,
Patiently you stand and wait.
Then with a gentle stretch you break
Bread from a child’s hand.

You see me move a mile away,
Rowing out to anywhere.
You rise, all crashing wings and spray.
Then silent, in the deep blue air,
Hang crucified against the sky.

A loch-side fire’s sharp light is cast,
As lapping waves from stillness leap
To say in darkness you have passed.
And as I lay me down to sleep,
Your parting call will calm my heart.

We keep our memories intact in the landscapes of our minds. And sometimes they give us beautiful poetry. Exceptional, Nomad. Kind regards, Sandra
