Side by side

hike with me
my friend
bring you along

strike with me
a conversation,
challenge my
mental

psych me out
as only you
can

you being
uniquely
you
understanding
my different
and perspicacious
self

shaking your
head in
sigh

wondering
that I treasure
you so
and falling
in to my
grin

is it enough
for you to share
thoughts
unspoken…

or that a
surprise call
wakes
a deep and
abiding
respect…

or that a poem
is written
and bears
your
name…

don’t you see
but that for
this very
phenomenon,

you are why
I
am
here

side by side

with my
friend

so

hike me along
strike my
thoughts with
your
unmatchless wit
psych me into
giggles…

as only you can….

as we stand

side by side

Reminds me of this one I wrote and changed and wrote again…some long time ago in a different lifetime…



Come…

Walk with me for a little way,

Our paths have crossed

And we know we are incomplete.



Drawn to each other,

spirits listen intently,

Trying to hear the resonating music

Of someone in harmony.



Come talk with me,

Putting aside fears and pain,

Sharing small truths we have found,

I will listen with my heart,

Not just my ears.



I will accept all I can,

And store the rest away

To examine in quietude

Some other time.



Come walk with me…

For a little while.

Finding in small measure,

Comfort in company shared.

There is no bond quite like that of close friends and you've described it so well here.  Thank you for this, dear Lady.

There is more depth to the heart than the mind can comprehend and it only has boundaries when we choose to fence it in.

Well, it's surely my day to find little jewels on the back pages.

Friendship - blendship
step by step - side by side

Yes !
