"Parting is such sweet sorrow..."

(William Shakespeare)



Fairies in the Forrest

My friend

Your presence fills me up
as soon as you walk
into my heart.

Your joy is my joy.
Your pain is my pain.
I always grieve
each time we part.

What will life bring?
I do not know.
But I dread the day
you have to go.

Again follow the call.
Explore the mysteries
along the road.

You're part of home.
God, I'll miss you!
