Finely tuned
He topped his heights
With extra draughts of nectar.
He could see humour and sorrow in all.
Amusement in a mountain
Brought a tear
For friend not here
And never here again.
The thought she's in a better place
Only doubled mourning.
The better place is here.
Why can't she still be here?

I was expecting some mention of Dustin Hoffman (Mrs. Robinson movie reference here) . ;) Maybe they are BOTH in a better place now? bri :) the Poet's Notes were appreciated.
A creative and compelling cry that is loaded with lost of someone special, Well done my friend!

A fine display of free-verse and the storyline that very accurately addresses the human-element sense of natural selfishness in dealing with loss/death of an endeared.Well delivered... ~FjR~
