Alan…

the velvet evening skies are crying crystal tears…

I dream your Angelface, your smile, your precious eyes

and all of nature seems to breathe my mourning sighs

while I am waiting till your sacred star appears…

my little boy, my father-friend, my dove…

you left so suddenly for Heaven’s holy space

please, let me see where you are staying up above

and show me how I may still linger in your grace…?

I pray for everyone you’ve cherished here on earth

to sense the Wonder of your being deep inside

to always hold your Spirit’s allembracing Worth

and be aware of You, our Guardian and our Guide…

you were a man of mystic Tenderness and Care…

your Golden Honesty has spread a sea of Light

my smallness feels it shall be with you everywhere

on hills of day, in peaceful vales at night…

oh…I’ll remember what you said before you died…

your voice is whispering your values through my mind

we’ll meet again within infinity…so wide

one blissful day, when I shall leave this world behind…
