A Kite in the Wind

You listen with all the might you have within you to the sound that has been piercing your heart. Its a sound so resound and strong that with it you begin to reminisce of its beginnings. Days and years spent around he and his maker. The two of them so eerily similar that at times you find yourself jealous for you have no comparison. But then with that memory you sit and pull him forward and hold him tightly for he needs you today. You are his countenance and his strength this moment. Time has passed since that moment of change but the pain still lingers. You brave yourself for the power and will to be strong and more than who you've ever been. At this juncture you've become a guide and a tool to his growth and to his moving forward. He is your friend and you two have been placed here for this moment. A moment of remembrance and the struggles of loss. One day you may understand and know full well the importance of loss but as of today you forget meaning and focus on love. There are days when you realize that his pain is yours to bear for one day you will need him to do the same for you. With this you assume his burden, his hardship and his grief and you do this for him because he is your friend. As his tears fall upon your chest, you listen and pray for the strength to be silent and to love. You then proceed to tell him that this is not the end, this is not goodbye.
