Brother

This is a poem I wrote about a tragedy that occurred in the life of a good friend of mine.

Across the great star

ocean

a restless spirit wanders

as the Astral Gate thunders

He's full of raw emotion

forever stuck between two worlds

Brother, I deserted you

When I broke my earthly shackles

If only I could take it back

before the world faded to black

Why did I throw it all away?

I was so consumed in my pain

when it was myself I destroyed

When I try to reach out to you

all I find is a dark void

although the memory remains
