Minties

I remember you somewhat
Before you disappeared
You were full of life
The person I most feared
Revered.

Like a lion growling close by
Shaking in my gummies
I dare not pluck that which is not
Mine for the taking
Walnuts.

Before you disappeared
They all watched you
Licked your lips
Worshipped your presence
Minties.

You're gone now
But you disappeared long ago
Lacking the distance
Within a stones throw
Old.

Remember I came to visit
Our hearts touched
As did our eyes
I heard what you said to me
Wise.

Comforted by your coffin
Yet when I look at her
I can't help but feeling
Her own loss as mine
Love.

It's times such as
I start to remember you
And I know deeply that
It's moments like these we need
Minties.

This is what I remember most.
This is what I delight in.
Not that you disappeared before your post
Even though you were still fighting.

But that you left the way you did
It breaks my soul to know
Though they thought you couldn't
You felt each every blow

I am glad that I have known you
Before you disappeared
The things you do amaze me
You're different, the same as
Me.
