A Golden Hue

You embroidered my cloth of dreams To an enlightened golden hue, With your flamboyant conversations, Which created a colourful tapestry, that was just you! An aura of distinction of an enviable freedom, With your original and probing point of view, Of every moment lived beyond your expectations, Like a wild tiger roaming the parched plains of Africa, A restless energy and your artistic vision Like the wonder of the rising sun, You looked so deeply into my unknown soul, With your questioning and fun filled brown eyes, Always searching for answers like hidden rain in heavy clouds Bursting open in brooding skies, A voyage to discover and embrace my dreams and make them real, With the memory of your deep and tender kiss giving your heart As a loving seal, Of your quest to lift forgotten flowers To their restored bloom on a carefree summer's day, Your untamed spirit quenched my parched thirst To particles of fine golden sand on a weather beaten bay, Like the energy of constant, restless time, You left far too soon, a tragic end, Your haunting melody lingers to mend The terrible pain and loss Of an exciting, loving and kind man, You leave behind the gift of your golden hue, As a beautiful reminder of you!
