My friend, Evan, wrote this yesterday on his livejournal. It's so beautiful, I felt compelled to repost it (after making a few spelling corrections) so more people can see it. FYI, it's about our friend Ty. If you like it, go leave him a comment.
"when the sun beats down and melts all the snow
and the ice that's gathered here
will it melt away the frozen memories
and the things i want to forget
about this year
sit on stumps and try to understand things
like how cutting down trees is part of bringing
what life needs
and part of growing wise is
pulling your own weeds
understanding what you need and what you don't
translates into what you'll do and what you won't
and i won't be part of the hurt and pain caused in the streets
using and taking and bruising and making
notches in memories that can never go away
making someone feel like shit 'till their self has run astray
and man i know you're up there
i guess i did know your heart
so i'd never have to wonder where
i bet heaven resembles your art
and if you could whisper a word to God for me
tell him we need patience and love here endlessly
tell him i feel his pain when he looks down on what we do
and man i know its better up there
but i'm sorry for the veiw
tell him for us and for the masses i'm sorry for what we've done
give me some inspiration to change things
at 23 my life has only just begun"
