Poem: Mid-Autumn Remembrance

#VSS365 prompt of Bluesky, "deluxe". A tribute to an old friend.

A deluxe bento box 
of all the goodies 
he liked to eat 
during the last days.

It really goes well 
with a nice bottle 
of warm 
rice sake. 

No crowds or witnesses
He always took his meals
in contemplative
silence.

A focus on the
experience
notice tastes and textures
you never felt before.

Slow down
always be mindful
of your
surroundings.

Feel the sun on your face
hear every piece of gossip
life is fleeting
one moment gone.

A celebration 
of life and memory 
As long as I speak his name 
He will always be there.
