to the fallen...

In any war or conflict, there will always be losses. Although painful and sad, it is a way of life and no amount of tears shall set it back. I know this may come a bit late, but it's nice to remember our friend once in a while.

To all the friends, family and loved ones of Abs I hope you find this poem as comforting as I did.

Ascension

And if I go,
while you're still here...
Know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure
--behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
--both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
...I will be there.
