We talked a while.
The easy exchange
Of faithful friends,
Where tears and laughter come easy
And seamlessly.
Where a secret revealed
Leads to relief and not fear.
Where much is perceived
In between the lines
And though thoughts go unvoiced
Intimacy grows


We sat awhile.
The soulful exchange
Of evergreen friends,
Where memories, relived and retold
Are poignant still.
Where heartbeats resonate,
Intertwine, reflecting,
Like the mirror image
Of an old tree,
In the pool, where it's roots
Hidden, draw life.
