Like Kin

This is about losing a friend that is as close as your own family. J.D.E. 05-06-05

To recall life, taking for granted.

So close from slipping away,

but so far in the mind.

To the eye tis visable,

but so hard when sucluded.

Tis difficult when like kin,

so helpless and struck.

Horizontal is heaven

Vertical is hell

Vertical doesn't have to be hell. We make of it what we will. Trust me when I say, I've lost enough, felt broken enough, to know that even in our sorrow, we can make our life different by choosing with what sort of eyes we peer up into the sky.
Poignant, and straight to the point. I like it. Thank you for entering this in my contest.

A round of applause! Very good work...I believe you have captured the feeling of losing someone. I, too, have lost a few people in the last 10 years who are close as family so I understand completely. Great work!
