CRYSTAL OF ENDLESS TIME
When the snow crystals shine tomorrow
Glowing in the vibrant surrounding
He said to remember him in them
The moments of his being around me.
That concrete wall he slept close to
The shoes he often left untied
His well kept sleeping bag next to it
And his rifle always clinched to his side.
Those chilly morning blues
And those thumping boot noise
No shiver in that body I guess
But jokes in his quiver all times.
That’s him as we remember
Till the last moment yes we would
He came with an open heart
And left us with memories as much he could.
The winds are silent since
Mourning for the friend once we had
It knows this vacuum can’t be filled
Yet for him we continue to stand.
Tomorrow when the sun is up
And the crystals shine
You will glow amongst us like before
Till that moment of endless time.
