In Memory of
Rowan Barrett
1973 - 2008
etched forever in my mind, the joy we shared
on one night's chanceful encounter
the quintessential mate of everyone you met
and they were proud to call you friend
but none was more honoured than this stranger,
to have simply met and shook your hand
and engage in cheerful conversation
among the festive crowd we were connected
dancing and laughing like children
in heart filled celebration
living a precious moment for our friend
without any qualms or social boundary
my life was more enriched
by the reach of your friendship and humanity
one night, but a moment in my life
that i would gladly exchange if it would bring you back
taken too soon, your time too short
no greater man whose passing can cement a memory
know that you are greatly missed
by those whom you deeply loved
and those, like me, you unknowingly touched
