The foggy tenderness a balmy buffer,
  smiling oblivion decomposes anguish
    and pain...
In frost a cloak to keep you protected:
  cosset without bruise.

I greet you, wheel through space,
  after initial slumber subsides,
    and pain
      kicks in, but not actually, chant words
        shaped into sentences...

A poem of friendship through the days,
  orbits, spheres, clouds, stars, smiles,
    and pain...
Spring is budding, after snow flowers
  will blossom, offspring will vault.

This too is going to be alright

Like a fairy godmother sprinkling his sleep with soothing balm. Darren, I cannot believe you are so young. What poems will you be gifting us if years to come?

My wheelchair can carry me there awfully quick. We three will share the loot.

Who needs a pot of gold when one has friends like Darren? But if he can manage it, a leprechaun whispered to me once how to reach the end of that rainbow. So expect a call rich boy.
