For Dawn

This is for my friend I recently lost.

You Got lost in
the deep end of life;
far from the
safe shallows.
Elf-like grin,
leftover from
childhood.

I couldn’t
save you.
9 months of
milky memories and
shipwrecks to
the soul.
Your grief killed
you as much as
the booze did.
I hope you’re now
resting
safely on the shore.

The booze is the great enemy in my Book Thomas. I can say that now 24 years on the wagon. Not that Tobacco is good either. But tobacco does not impair cognitive abilities. Excellent piece ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
