Craig (1950)


To a childhood friend of mine [2]

Ruffling of many seasons puffed our hairs
fading memory of faces,
locking up in the bottom of mind
buried reminiscences.
Blind climbing and steep rush on the stairs
of life dampened each image
hurrying to the course,to find
our end in the sky of destiny.
Evening stopped your steps by a bullet
on banks fragrant of mildew.
Calling me at your side from the deep
through the dumb rain
could'nt rush at your help
but to pray and regret
for you,unforgettable friend.
Please,if you can, stay near to my sleep
