Just A Step Away

Just A Step Away

We all are just 
A step away
From crossing 
Into a black hole 
The abyss
Of our conscious 
Where infinity 
Meets a terminable end
And the soul
Is lost 
To an insatiable 
Nightmare
That seduces
Our reasoning
Into a permanent 
State of insanity.
Thank you for your service
Your pain will not be
Forgotten
Nor the mission you attempted 
To execute.
No judgement here
Just s sadness 
That overwhelms all
Who knew you.
May your journey 
Through the sea 
Of the afterworld
Take you to calm water
Where your
Anchor 
Is peace

Life is short, Greg. No doubt about it.
So, it's always best to live each day as if it were to be our last.
Let's face it—it just might be.
This reads like a touching tribute to a dear friend.
Well penned.

It is to a sailor who allowed his demons to overtake his sanity.  A murder suicide.  A tragedy.  He ate and drank from my house.  He was my son's room mate in Recon training.  It has been a year and we still feel the pain and sorrow.

Such a shame, Greg.
I'm sure you'll feel some residual effects for the rest of your lives.
