For Heather
by Yoda's Ghost
For years to come the stars will run
from blazing sun each day.
A Fable told, a Life grows cold,
and dreams are swept away.

Though we may fight throughout the night,
a distant Light may call,
like wooden mast and walls held fast,
one day at last we fall.

But fear not Sleep nor thoughts help deep,
a Pain we keep inside -
For dawn will wake and Day may break,
as life we take in stride.

Heather
This poem touched my heart...NOT because my name is also Heather, but because I have a close friend who passed away a few years ago, and it made me think of him. Many thanks to the author for letting me know that I'm not alone in my feelings of sadness whenever I think of him. It's comforting to know that there are other poeple out there who know what it's like.
