2 October 2019 There are bonds that are brittle and break at first strain. There are some that dissolve and disappear in the rain. There are some that will tangle like long flowing hair. There are some that unravel in bright lights’ full glare. There are some that get lost on the first moonless night and others that crumble at the tiniest fright. Then, there’s ours that is taller than Eiffel Tower’s height and wider yes wider than starred skies at night; It’s deeper, much deeper than Kimberley’s mine and matures with each year like the best of good wine. It’s unbreakable, unshakeable like granite-topped mountains and as fresh as the water of river-fed fountains. It’s music, it’s laughter, it’s kissing in the sun. It’s comfort when pain births the teardrops of one. It’s fornever, fornever, fornever to end and forever, forever, forever to blend. |

It is always that I think of my friends; just from another sphere of living; I miss you, I miss all; but I am not so far away that I do not shine with your hearts in mine. |

Owl - The bond that captures the reader of a great work is equally unbreakable and this piece is one of them. Mighty fine writing Owl. Namyh |

Thank you, Namyh. As you say, although I wrote this as a love poem, it can also be read and/or compared to other bonds too. |
