The topic of this blog post is death. Sorry for the somber subject of discussion. However, I wanted to know more about the phenomenon that links us as human beings more than anything else. More than the air in our lungs, or the beats that rattle our hearts, it’s the silence that overtakes all of that at the end. Today, I discovered I lost a friend. Not too sure how to deal, when you’ve lost someone that’s meant a lot to you that you never realized meant a lot to you until they were irrevocably gone…vanished from existence and all your left with is this transcendental feeling of where did they go and can I go to? Why are you leaving me here? Have these questions ever crossed your mind? To keep my mind from getting stuck, I wrote these words of remembrance to honor my friend. Hoping it would bring me some solace, some comfort, some understanding. ODE TO KEITH What’s in a friend? A friend is one who makes you smile; Who makes you laugh? Who stays in your heart, And defends on your behalf. They don’t tickle your fancy No, not one bit They give you the Truth Even when you don’t ask for it They inspire you to do better And be better To continue on with all your might If you fall, dust yourself off FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Your special skills Cannot go unnoticed You’re a trailblazer, a gem, a diamond in the rough, the flotus How will we ever go on Without your unique, quirky charm? You came and went so quickly And broke down all alarms We shed our tears, And said our goodbyes Now all we have left are great memories, Smiles, laughs, and good time highs. Goodbye Keith Andrew Granit RIP
