My Friend

What do you say to a friend diagnosed with terminal cancer....the most 8 months...but we both know if it will be sooner......much sooner than that. I have not sent her this writing I wrote for her......but I will when I feel it appropriate.

This week I have been treated with so much disrespect by others {none in this Forum}......but you see they are ignorant and it is this type of ignorance which will ultimately destroy this world.

This the second time...I lost someone about two years go to the same scenario and now my best friend I will be losing soon as well. And these ignorant people know that but I believe in justification and their time will come to pass.

Anyway following is my writing. I know I am not alone in the world....there are others who are facing death.

My friend, don’t go
but I know that you must
we have a world yet to travel
but the crossroads of time
are not mine to question.

I heard you speak
and your tears in the silence
I see before mine eyes.
Have faith in your destiny as
the pain and weakness
will become
strength and bravery.

My friend, don’t go
but I know that you must
the stars have written
your guidance and by their light
you shall see.

Life and death meet together
where the soul shall emerge
and Love will appear.
Our friendship will not end
as remembrances do not die.
My friend, don’t go
but I know that you must.

A place in my heart
you will always remain
as even now I realize
the agony you must feel.
Torn between the known and unknown
wondering if tomorrow
will suddenly disappear.

My friend, don’t go
but I know that you must
we have a world yet to travel
but the crossroads of time
are not mine to question.
But our Love shall endure.

Wizard are you alright? I'm not saying that in a patronising way either.

What you’ve wrote is highly emotive, I can’t really fathom what these words truthfully mean to you right now.

Life has to go on though and life brings with it ignorance, foolishness, regrets and sorrow, we’ve got to carry each other to get through all of these trivialities.

Keep well.

You should be proud of a being so close to someone like this. Not many get an oppertunity like it.......

I agree with ZeroDude.


Take care, wizard2c

Zero Dude, It's a writing about Love....
knowing you will be losing a person
who represents a true friendship.

I find so many at DOL writing about Love....
well this is about the same subject.
I know it's not your usual ones you
find in song lyrics like
hey baby I love you and
without you I would die
baby baby baby
why do I cry.

Face the truth....how would you feel
knowing you had 8 months left in life
but could not "go sky-diving or
rocky mountain-climbing" as are the
refrains from Live Like You Were Dying
when you're too sick and bed-ridden.

Guess wizards have a deep empathy.

That does not refrain me from my dragon-hunting...in fact on Friday a courier left me a very special item....from the future.

Nothing's wrong with that kind of love. It's one of the more truer ones. Plato would support it.

You got your sword??

As I sensed, my friend went back into the hospital early this morning. She should be able to come home in a few days; they can diagnose the type of hospice care she will need. She started feeling ill about 2 months ago and found out she had terminal cancer then....it's just that timeline .....so quickly it moves.

Yes, it is similar to Gandalf's and quite magnificient.....so finely crafted. There is something special about a sword....perhaps the ancestry. I keep it on my large antique wooden desk near my cinema display screen so it looks appropriate.....an intermingling of an olden sword with modern words. And between the two I have placed my pyramid crystal prism. The sword arrived on 11/11/05.... a day of honor.

For Honor, thanks for the caring and to Zero Dude.

Maybe you will tell us more about the sword someday?

Sounds interesting
