It has been one full year since my dear friend, Erik Downes, has passed away. It's amazing how fast time flies by, especially when you don't pay any attention to the passing days, and then all of a sudden remember a specific date. Erik was such an incredible person. He was very strong in his faith in God and treated everyone he encountered with love and pure compassion. Heaven has certainly gained an angel. In memory of this amazing man, I'd like to share a poem that Erik wrote. It's one of my favorites:
It all began with birth by sleep
when all was well within their hearts.
Though few took mind into the deep
desires creeping within his arts.
Names now differ and times have changed,
but still the struggle wages within
the organ's two-fold meaning mazed:
a battleground for fate to win.
A world of darkness graced with few lights
who seek to spread and share good will
are faced with every wicked plight
to achieve life's goods whilst using ill.
Though chasers now do run their course,
"I hear I w's 'nsem" cleansed will endorse.
