I meditate in silence

Resting upon my bed

Recalling faces I have seen

Colleagues I toiled with

Friends, consorted

Lovers, impassioned

Mourners, consoled

Murmured echoes of memories

Whisper in the corners of my lair

Muffled by the accumulated dust

Of time’s passage

And the gathering snows

Of approaching winter

All have passed before me

Ventured out ahead

Whilst I remain

Reflecting on the past

Awaiting reunion

Drifting in the embrace

Of gentle solitude
