I See You

"Aye, old friend...
So this is how it comes to end?
Don't worry. The battle has won...
Though the aftermath had just begun.
I hope you'll fare better in that new place.
...What more must you face?
Old friend, I miss you.
You went down grandly and true...
Yet here you lay in defeat.
Aye, your white coat's so beat...
Tidy yourself up, the parade's a'coming.
They're looking for you...they're running...
They don't see what I see.
In their eyes, you're gone at my feet.
But I...I see you young again.
You're springing up at your own head!
You once said you didn't believe in spirits,
But look where you got with your merits...
I'll miss you, old friend...I already do.
But for right now, I see you."

...One of my darkest photomanipulations ever >

Of an old warrior acknowledging the death of his good friend after their last battle together...and he can see his friend, strong and young again, as a spirit.
