MY FRIEND TOM

It was 50 years
since we last met
but some people
you just don't forget

We resonate to the same tune
Playmates on this Stage of life
you and I
And playmates we remain
Becket and Castle come and go
But we are One and the same

You appeared and re-appeared
in truth, you never left
Before we ever met
our Destinies forged as One

Your re-appearance but a confirmation
of the Oneness by which
We live and re-live
