A blogging friend passed away before Thanksgiving after a long hard fight with Cancer. He liked this poem I wrote about the life cycle of depression and it seemed a good one to say goodbye with. My prayers of comfort and peace for his wife.
RIP Dennis McHale.
Earth dropped away from feet long gone
No more structure or truth to rely on
I knocked on the doors of a million stars
Begging them to let me in
To light my path, give me a place to begin
But then the stars fell away into a dark sea
And tidal waves of gravity pulled at me
It’s consuming presence began to shove
And I wondered what more I was made of
A part of nothingness, no place to go
My absurd imagination is all I know
My ending soaked up everything
Until I gave into its melancholy flow
And then universe; it began to snow
It snowed new stars giving me light to see
The waves of gravity still pulling at me
Its consuming presence felt like love
And I found out exactly what it was made of
HASTYWORDS 
Easy to see why he loved it.
