Life Walked Through Us

Life walked through us,
While we laughed, loved in love,
The times drenching in silvery
Every minute glorious, glittering, golden
Forever to remember, passing many Decembers..

Life walked, phasing through us,
While we cried, cruised, crawled in cowardice,
The joy we shared when we journeyed,
Every grace we graced, many peace, plenty pieces.
Forever my friend, eternity my friend.

Life walked, gently moving past us,
When you smiled, shuddered, slept,
Telling us to admire the way you rest,
Everything changed, crashed,
Failing when life took you along.

In the second stanza, the contrast between the joyful moments and the moments of fear and sadness is well portrayed. The use of "cruised" and "crawled in cowardice" creates a sense of movement and stagnation, respectively. The line "many peace, plenty pieces" is a bit unclear and could benefit from further elaboration.

The third stanza is a poignant tribute to a friend who has passed away. The use of "gently

The title...

tells a story of people who had life in their relationship, and treated life as though it were a thing all of its own; which makes the poem about what happens when "life" moves on and leaves one behind. Life then becomes something of an entity; to be
thought of as a "friend". Well done! ~ Geezer.

What Geezer said

This is a great write. Sometimes we get left behind or the ones doing the leaving behind. Good job.

We just have to live the rest of our lives bearing losses upon losses
