always friend

dear friend seldom seen 

and deeply loved.

holding you in my hearts cradle

our frail wave of identity

only a small reflection 

of who we are  

 

you are the song that never ends

freely moving through the waves of time 

we meet again and again 

I hear your rhythm and join the dance

 

you are becoming the poem

being beloved of the lover

you become the folds of the rose

stay close to its fragrance 

let it enfold you 

in peace and delight 

 

always friend
