Dear Friend of Mind
DEAR FRIEND OF MINE
It’s not like
it never happened;
it did.
The gentle sighs;
the soft sweet smiles;
the tender touches;
the assuring words:
All setting
our minds at ease
and putting nervousness
and fears to rest: then we parted.
With our going---a painful void
briefly presented its self;
our hearts, minds and souls
experienced a brevity of discontent.
Yes we parted.
It’s not like
it never happened;
it did.
Now---awakened thoughts
generate ecstatic memories.
Ecstatic memories
that slowly fade away
like autumn leaves
in gentle winds---drifting
in the currents of time.
I miss you dear friend;
I miss you.
It is not like
it never happened;
it did:
And we’re the better
it happened.
