My Dear Friends

by John Cole

Your hair no longer grows
Body froze
Your eyes don’t shine
Frozen in time
Your soul free
Pain in my chest
I can’t rest
Demons dancing
Romancing
My grief
No relief
Yesterday you were with me
In a flash, a moment
You were gone
No new dawn
I long
To see you again
Each passing day
My life fades away
I draw closer to you
Time carries on
Unflinchingly
No matter the torment undergone
Liberate my spirit
I can hear it
God summon me
Holy energy
Extrasensory
I can feel you here
I have no fear
You went before me
Pulled from the world
Hurled
Into death
My mind swirled
Peace I have found
Though you’re not around
One day
I will cross the sea of death
I take my last breath
I will see you again

I wrote this to my friends killed in Iraq on our tour in 2005. Although it has been many years since it is something I still carry with me today so I write about it.
