Godspeed

By Phalanx

I made a promise to a good friend.
She asked me never to stop writing.
I keep it still, even in times of uncertainty.
I've got a deep well and I have to get out before dust fills it.
It's time to move, time to change.
I think I might understand.
She inspired me with her gift,
Her patience.
I think of her still and hope with a prayer for light on her journey.
I know we'll cross paths in a better place where truth without science makes perfect sense,
If nothing more than in passing.

    A promise made that is never broken is a true promise. Absolutely beautiful.
