Friends

Friends

Some turn away

When your sky turns grey

Claim they don’t know what to say

They were never here to stay

Others turn towards

Without the slightest pause

Throw open friendships doors

To ease the pain that gnaws ©

And I

Along the lane

We walk

My loyal companion

And I

In August sunshine

We walk

My quiet companion

And I

No need for talk

As we walk

My morning shadow

And I

A poem

A poem

is a way of showing

just what

you’re going through.

A way of sharing

the joy and laughter

bubbling

inside you.

A way of reaching

out to others

when

your skies are blue.

A poem

A way of a showing

What

You’re going through©

Out

Out I step

Foot to the floor

Wind drying cheeks still wet

The marks of life’s daily war.

Eyes on the sky out I set

Till I can walk no more

The darkness won’t get me yet

For now I’ll make my own law.©
