Out of nowhere
As people pass away they leave behind
a void of talks that never were completed,
conversations and intimacies badly to be missed,
unfinished cycles, projects and possibilities
that were too often thought of but forever unfulfilled,
and above all the physical immediate close contact,
without which you are left at a loss
disoriented and abandoned to your ghosts
or what is worse, yourself.
But still there always is a remedy,
right there in front of you and in the middle of all darkness,
opportunity will wait for you to just take care of it.
For every old friend that is lost
a younger friend will take his place,
appear from nowhere and report to take his stand,
and even in the darkness in the absence of your love
a new and warmer, maybe even more intensive,
passionate and stimulating love will strangely suddenly appear,
since that is how love works. It never ends.
It only dies to gain new strength,
be reinforced and find new ways and forms.
