A Visitor From Afar

A good friend, recently departed, 
Occasionally returns as a ghost
To places he ended and started...
 
A friendly spirit only I can see; 
And I find what I miss the most 
Is that he cannot talk to me... 

But through imagined sound 
I still sense his message clearly, 
Regardless of what's around, 
A comfort, yet I miss him dearly, 

My good friend, a tumbleweed spirit,
Rolling through space, he 
Sometimes visits, here or when, 
And his fleeting presence, 
Comforts me now, as it did then...
