friend poem

to be able to see every side of every question
long has the summer sunlight shone
suddenly, out of dark and leafy ways
soft as the bed in the earth
he's gone
since, if you stood by my side today
when the hours of day are numbered
backward, turn backward
i love my life, but not too well
they ask me where i've been
within this lowly grave a conqueror lies
