A poem for my friend Nige


I love you as your day draws to a close,

and I love you as your death advances nearer still,

and I love you as you die,

and I love you after you've discarded your body,

and I love you when you return, forgetting all you are,

and when you remember again,

I love you.

So beautiful, my friend. This line reached out & grabbed hold..."I love you when you return, forgetting all you are"

You & Nige are so very beautiful together. I love you both.
