Beyond - Legends POEM - Face/Ton Phanan - "Still Up There". Editing for archive, so need critique 4/22

Ton and Face - rise up sirs!

 

that's one story
the leaves can't tell
their memories wiped by
the endless cycle of death
and renewal


the trees, hills
river are still here
the Halmad sun
is still up there
like you Ton
still up there
in my mind
imperfect, fallible
unique in the way
humans are


and missed inexpressibly
missed as only a friend can be


that was wonderful, Tahi
I like how you captured his feelings, his loss
great description of ... all?

it?s quite a while since I have read the book but this brought back the memory of this scene. *sniffs*

Thanks, maggy - yep, I think Iron Fist[/b] is my favourite of that series. I just really liked the way Allston wrote friendship, and I thought he captured the essence of the bond between men extremely well. That scene in the book always has me in tears. It's understated yet quite brilliant.

Thanks for reading. Vielen Danke. (Hope that's spelt right!)
