For a short while
We came across
Each other’s paths
As friends
We shared a time
A passage
Leaving deep memoired ravines
Intention:
We’d be friends forever
Not just this lifetime
But the next too
What folly
How fickle
As time has but one power
And that is
To changes all things
Even the great Colorado
That ran virulent and strong
For so long
Dried out to be depleted
With the passage of time
No surprise then
For our short meeting time
Of days, months even years
To wither into moments and memories
Yet what splendor
Did she leave
That Colorado
Laying canyons deep
And etchings one of a kind
We my friend
May no longer walk
Side by side
But footprint on my heart
Smiles surfacing to my face
And our times
All return
To remain my solace
So now
Where ever I sit
I have you still
Here right beside me
Deep in the caverns of my heart
