In Memory of a Young man Who Died in a Ravine

In memory of the young man
who died, the one who never got to
live life to the fullest, the young man
who rolled down a ravine, stopping
slowly face down to rest this way
until they came and took him away
still breathing but gone, gone away
where no one will ask him anything
anymore, he will no longer ask himself
what happened to his life and why it
had to end this way.


This young man was the son of a friend.  I mourn for him and his family.
