MY VOICE A BEACON IN THE NIGHT

“When you part from your friend, you grieve not;

For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.”

 

― Kahlil Gibran

WINTER SONG – SARA BAREILLES/INGRID MICHAELSON

 

For Mr Cogsley, mountain climber both physical and metaphysical.

 

“Could this universe have provided us with a kinder heart or gentler soul … “ - AP

 

Our worlds collide and coincide

a soul mate is close; a friend is found

does not matter if he's not human

in this case he's a cat

and as anyone who was ever owned by a cat knows

they are more human than we are somehow

this Winter song is just for you

remembering all of that

the times you played

the times you stayed

the letting go of you

I know you are at peace now, friend

you ventured into the blue

and beyond the snowy mountains

where your friend still loves to go

I know you will be watching over him

protecting him on the snow

or in the woods where you once walked

taking time; listening to every word he talked

distracted by a bird or two

in your nature to have stalked

but gently you let go of them

as your friend let's go of you

a new year in his life begun

and he'll be missing you

but you will always be there

walking by his side

no matter where he is in this world

no matter where he resides

for a soul mate never leaves you

they are bound within your soul

and your heart will carry on beating

within the heart of the man you once knew

our lives are many; our loves are too

but always he will come back to you

a special place looking out the window

while the Winter's snow falls deep and cold

and birds will miss your watchful gaze

and remember you of old

so to my friend who was your friend

your family as well

I send my warmest heart felt wishes

for in my mind you dwell

and memories are sweet and plenty

for him you were his friend

and as you step through yet another doorway

I know your life will never end

for in the minds of those who love us

we remain alive through them

as they recall the lovely memories

of all you were and are until we meet again.
