It has been 6 days.
6 days since one of our friends was
hurt.
He was hurt in a car crash, and is now
in a coma.
As the four of us, and his family wait,
his mother begins to cry.
She cries because she is afraid, she is
afraid of losing another child.
The doctor enters the small waiting
room, and immediately, all things are quiet.
The doctor gives the news, we all are in
shock. As he leaves we all weep.
His family, and ourselves become
engrossed in the reality of matters.
There was one.
One who was crying the most, I couldn’t
figure out whom.
We are allowed to visit our friend in
his room. Apparently, The doctors say, if his
condition does not improve within a day,
As his family leaves the room, a mother,
Father, and 2 sisters; Leaving without the brother, a piece of
the puzzle missing.
There he lays, our friend, no longer
able to function without the help, The help of the many many machines. I think to myself, ‘this isn’t him, this
is a dream, it’s not real.’
Then out of nowhere, one voice, a single
voice, my voice; Fills the room. But it is not for my own pleasure, but a
calling. From deep within my soul, I mourn. From deep within my soul I call back to
him.
I don’t even notice that my 3 other
companions join me. Together we are calling, guiding our
lost friend back home; Where he will be found. It was always one of his most loved
songs, it reminded him; Of his sister, who to was lost. When he sang this song, he was calling
to her, for her to come home; But it was to late for her.
We sang. From every depth of our heart, mind,
body, and soul,
We did not notice that all in the room,
hallway, and outer room: In those rooms the noise had stopped,
leaving nothing but silence. We sang. They let us sing, they stopped the noise
and let us guide our lost friend in silence. We sang.
Show me the meaning of being lonely. So many words for the broken heart, It’s hard to see in a crimson love, so hard to breath; Walk with me and maybe… Nights of light so soon become, Wild and free I can feel the sun. Your every wish, will be done… they tell me. Show me the meaning of being lonely; Is this the feeling I need to walk with? Tell me why I cant be there where you are. There’s something missing in my heart. Life goes on, as it never ends, Eyes of stone observe the trends, they never say, Forever gaze. If only… guilty roads to an endless love. There’s no control, are you with me now, Your every wish will be done, They tell me! Show me the meaning of being lonely. Is this the feeling I need to walk with? Tell me why, I cant be there, when you are. There’s something missing in my heart. There’s nowhere to run, I have no place to go. Surrender my heart body and soul! How can it be your asking me, to feel the pain you never show? You are missing in my heart. Tell me why can’t I be there when you are! Show me the meaning of being lonely, Is this the feeling I need to walk with? Tell me why I can’t be there when you are! There’s something missing in my heart. Show me the meaning of being lonely. Is this the feeling I need to walk with? Tell me why? I cant be there where you are! There’s something missing in my heart, As we finished we all were crying. Then a voice, one voice, a lost scared voice said. Don’t cry for me. We looked down, our friend. He was awake! He had that shimmer in his eyes. He found his way home,
With us.
I leaned down and cradled him,
He again said, ‘don’t cry for me.’
‘I can’t help it,’
Welcome back Howie.
‘Thanks A.J.’
Our friend, who was lost,
Now is found.
The song had guided our friend home to us.
Home, to stay
The End
