Basking in You
a poem of farewell and friendship for John Vandermeer
you apologized, smiling, regretful for interrupted conversation your own popularity halting our words their own love for you intruding our good byes
there was no need to apologise that was not why I came you are my own true friend I came to bask in your smile storing you up for your absence
I would have stood with you delighted just to share this time one more moment added to the years behind us marking these short seconds as precious as hours
few have I loved as you one with whom I have no fear closer than a brother dearer than a wife what in God would I not have done for you
I would be content but to have seen your smile and silent all the while happy in the joy of friendship with one loving God with all of life
knowing you knew me and cared what need had I for more to see you care again for those interrupting glory upon glory again
regret not the failing words that would but blur the glow of these final hours it was a joy to be near you to bless you on your way and know that all these passing years had never been in vain
