Our chatter flows on like an endless song
of matters small though voices are strong

Then Rehlyimah walks in,
and takes the corner chair,
& I am glad to see him standing there

Like a living ghost,
or cloa'ked sage,
Rehliyimah has walked off D'ni's darkest page

Rehlyimah is serious,
he often sounds sad
his name says his life has been rough, has been bad

He may truly be grieving
or he may not be there;
but what do you say to show the ghost that you care?

Rehl says we dont see him
and in a way it is true.
We can see but a little,
the chinks he glows through.

But he accepts our welcomes
and in games he will share
his unique perspective
and he seems to care


So the chat rolls on, as we share our laughter,
Rehlyimah's presence keeps us thoughtful long after
