    Excellent rhyming Grant:)

    When you say it out loud it almost sounds like a song and I believe when a song would be made from this, it would be a nr. one hit:)

    About the question in your poem, if he sees you: he does. I am able to see people who are no longer alive, so I know for a fact they are still among us.

    I am very certain you derive great comfort and inner peace from these visits, it is a great way to balance your daily life and your inner world. Some people/ memories deserve to be kept close to us, to keep us strong and aware of our roots:)

    Great poem, Grant, well worth the wait.

    *hugs*

    This poem started out weird and then took shape by the second stanza. It's done in a different style than i'm used to seeing your poems still a really great poem.

    You can tell he was a good friend to you and you to him. I only wish that I had such a friend to salute in life and in death. Very well written.

    Grant,

    This is such a sad poem and a reminder of how dangerous motorbikes can be, or should I say, how vulnerable you bikers are by 'us' car drivers who often pay little attention to bikes.
    The flow, rhyme and emotion here are as usual great. Your poems are always a pleasure to read.

    Take care
