Ode to a Lost Companion

Constant

We were never apart,

You and I

Together we travelled and explored

Inseparable

Always together, always ready

To fill each moment with sound

And vision

And colour

To bring life to the mundane

To make each event a scene from a film

With a soundtrack tailored,

Individual.

You coloured my world

Gave rainbows their shine

Made the boring bearable

Helped conquer steep climbs

And gave me an obsession

Now you’re gone.

The music has stopped 

And truly,

You are irreplaceable.

This poem is dedicated to my iPod, constant friend and companion for the last seven years.  You will be missed.
