A
dear friend (or someone I hold dear though I don’t know him well) is having a sad
day today. It marks an anniversary of someone that can’t be replaced in his
life.
I project of what might be here. I don't know. I just know his step son was autistic and committed suicide. I feel very deeply for his loss even though I never met his step son. I know of him a little through my friend.
It is ad for anyone to commit
suicide, but tragic loss of someone that did bring joy to a family. His step
son is much missed and I weep with my friend tonight over this horrible loss.
Sad Eyes of Laughing Man
A
man I know who has laughing eyes turned sad
They
weep for the day it is today
Where
a growing almost son that was his
Decided
to go and not come back
He
was in the bloom of teenhood
He
needed to know more
But
knew too much
The
touch
The
taste
The
sound
The
vision
All
of it crashing in, around,
And
he felt it pulling him down
He
didn’t see how it pulled him up here,
Higher
than we could ever go or know,
He
felt alone,
Not
felt,
Too
sour,
Not
heard,
Not
seen,
He
ran down the road
In
what seemed black
But
light was there
In
the man with laughing eyes
Who
loved this boy more
Than
more could be defined
The
man told him,
But
the boy didn’t
Feel
hugs,
Taste
love,
Hear
laughter,
See
acceptance,
He
wanted but left wanting
In
that one small moment
That
separated the now from the then
The
here with eternity
He
left a note of goodbye
But
it wasn’t enough
For
the man wanting more
To
be
To
hold
To
hear
To
see
The
boy again
Today
and always
But
never again
