Kerouac Lives - 407

Rating: 5.0

Where have all my friends gone?
Long time in the making
Where have all my friends gone?
Too soon in the dying
Where have all my friends gone?
So very long ago

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Inspired by Pete Seeger's song, Where Have All The Flowers Gone? Many moons ago, I sang along with him and the audience at Massey Hall in Toronto. Needless to say, that was one of the highlights of my life.

They are waiting in galaxy far away for us to join them. I hope so. An innocent plea/question.5****

My near-death experience proved to me that they are indeed waiting for us to join them. I wonder if we will feel the presence of those PH friends who we had communicated with, but had never actually met.

To feel a friend deep within is the true sign of a compassionate heart and great soul.

The extent of my singing is at karaoke nights...so much fun! Some of my poems were meant to be songs, but I'm not a musician, so I don't know how to create them into songs. I've tried, but I guess not hard enough. Someday!
