feeling not seeing

this morning thinking of them
from half a world away
i am faraway observer
recollecting now

those come and gone
friends, accomplices, on this earth
linked, liked, loved and endured
is it even necessary to recall

one's loved best of all
and so many, many others
come and oftimes vanished
pieces in the puzzle

apparently we didn’t put it together
just found ourselves here
tap-dancing the boards to the rhythms
in this game called life

Hi Jack,
This poem gives me a nostalgic feeling, of course; but you use many unique lines, like "friends, accomplices... linked, liked, loved, and endured," implying more than the simple words. I also like "tap-dancing the boards to the rhythms..."
