I enjoyed this one, like before a great write..
do keep writing :D

Great and very touching piece.
You have one mistake: Save in the eight stanza should be safe.
I like whole piece, every stanza is beautifully written and the poem contains greatly created imagery. I just don't understand one thing:
You wrote: -He drifts away,
following an old friend-
Who is he following?

Keep up :)

Wow .. this was written beautifully ,,very well expressed. . and nicely put through ..

and in the end he finds peace..

an amazing write ..
and that old friend....hmm.. i dunno .. im guessing,,.maybe from before he was born?? o.0

either way, ,simply superb. :D
