There are those
Who you no longer see
But feel
Not ghosts nor enemies
Pieces
Unresolved questions
Made into a smile
A light which is with me
Always
And those who wish
Malign influence
Are denied it
For I have been walking
Living
To witness only
My own events and learn
As much as celebrate
I feel the well wishes
The disdain
But bear them lightly
As their wisdom left marks
As guides to better states
