Why have you left?

One of the SAD moments of quarter a century living on this planet. Few months I was forced to believe that a young friend has gone from the earth. Nature is powerful. I bowed onto nature. I cried. I grieved. I questioned, no answer. Then I said Perhaps he might be at a better place. Perhaps he has finished his mission. Perhaps he has escaped from a worst future. I know you don't have an answer to any of this questions none does. But I just want to write in words my weeping. The only thing I can do, translating shading tears into words. As f-o-l-l-o-w-s...

Why have you left?

Did you just come to say hi?

Or to visit while passing by

You stayed too-long

We saw your pain and suffered along

Too short the joy we had together

Sad experience to remember.

Why have you left?

I wish you stay a little longer

A million times I loved you

Unfortunate, how I lost you

Now every morning I cried

If love alone could’ve saved you

You never would’ve died

Why have you gone?

Far of our reaches

Beyond the heavy clouds

We asked the sun, during the day

Stars at night, but they have remained silent

Just like your last days

Perhaps we don’t understand their words.

I haven’t gone, I’m invisible

Please don’t cry be an example

Don’t think of me as gone away

My journey has just begun

Life holds so-many facts…

Earth was only one

I wanted to let you know

That I’m resting

In a place where there’s no sorrow and pain

Darkness never exist here, evil has no gain.

So… please don’t cry

Friends… please don’t cry

But (you didn’t say good bye) (3)

Beauty is in Words.
