In Memoriam

"Echoes of Memories: A Biker Memorial"
by The Ironhorse Writer

The Day's reign bows once more to dusk.
Within its submission,
a subtle wind caresses, comforts my solitude,
as an old friend.

Whispering echoes of memories.
The horizon claims the last flicker of day.
A stillness, not unknown,
greets me this night.

This is the night of the riderless horse.
Unbridled defiance afoot.
It's cry, harmonious amidst the wind.
Thunder be its mane.

The wind laments its long, lonely wail,
as if to bid farewell.
To one whose chased its endless breath.
To one it knew quite well.

To the Heavens I raise my head and pray,
may, this wind fill the wings of your soul.
Whispering echoes of memories,
'til, for me, it blows.
