that’s how I imagine you, my dearest lost Friend,spreading your wings and speaking your french.By Peter Gaudio

Dear Ced

What’s it like up there? What’s the buzz?I can’t see you, can you see us?

By Peter Gaudio

Dear Ced,

about a year went by since you were goneand I still wonder why, sometimes

it was like a lightning flashing on a sunny day

Our friend Marc on the line and soon tears on my face

from Vegas to Paris a never-ending flighta long ride to see you one last time

trying not to think but strong pain in my heartit’s non sense my friend, won’t be ever the same

My life has so changed after that very daya missing date of that month of july

there’s always time for one last thought to share at the end of the day when resting I dare

dear Ced,what’s it like up there? what‘s the buzz?I can’t see you, can you see us?

what simply was granted it s now put to testOh Father, I m sure he’s on your good list

“another sip of good red bordeaux tooa toast looking up winking at younot much into football but ready to cheerwhen les blues play the world with nothing to fear”

DEAR CEDJu

... one last picture of us left to takein between a big water fall and the clearest blue lake.

you gave me the strengths to overcome this lossI am sure you gave him a nice outdoor post

he likes rugby, you know that my Lord, You saw him wearing his wide pink Mario shirt

another sip of good red bordeaux tooand a toast looking up winking at you

not much into football but ready to cheerwhen les blues play the world with nothing to fear

Dear God,

so much we shared withloud silences, discreet cheers, all sorts of eventsfrom hot sunny o.c. to rainy summer camps

had the same joy, the same joy to livenoble heart, royal blood, funny jokes to give

dear Ced,what’s it like up there? what‘s the buzz?I can’t see you, can you see us?

starting again our movable feastliving our dreams, or trying at leastat the commons or at the parks

drinking life from champagne cups

and Paris did know, as did Oslo and did Prague, the same as did Bremen, Dubrovnik and Milan 

friendship will last, will always pull thruno matter how far you ended up to

that summer we spent camping out eastenjoying the food, wine and companywill always lay down as a dear sweet memory

will carry it with me until we eventually meet

dear Ced,what’s it like up there? what‘s the buzz?I can’t see you, can you see us?

Brilliant colors and nice air to breathewith your popeye walk and no more rain underneath

surfing white clouds and peeking thru the only big sky deeper then blue

that s how I imagine you, my dearest lost friend

spreading your wings and speaking your french

one last picture of us left to takein between a big water fall and the clearest blue lake

dear Ced,what’s it like up there? what‘s the buzz?I can’t see you, can you see us?
