In behalf of Rocky

Rocky May Cry

Religiously I sought that smile and
Over the hill we met.
Careless and free and
Kind and happy.
You vanished abruptly.

May I find you again someday,
As I walked through this darkness.
You beacon me towards the light.

Careless and free and
Renewed and blessed.
You and I shall meet again.

(Rocky May Cry)

Written in the voice of Rocky (an office mate), this is a birthday poem in lieu of a message I wrote for an office mate's birthday. Every time somebody celebrates a birthday, one of my office mates would collect messages and create a powerpoint presentation to be sent to the celebrant a day or so before his or her birthday.

June 1 - Happy birthday, Lou.
