Scientific Friendship Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Thinking in the loneliness of my mind, bereft and filled
with loss at the death of my friend.

Wanting to call or drop by to talk, yet remembering when
tears start falling that death has taken him from me so
permanently.

Now having no one who understands me once again in life,
so totally alone, nothing or no one to console me as I
think of him and all the talks we used to have.

Learning about one another, both of us interested in the
other unselfishly, and with love and respect for who we
were when together in a scientific friendship.
