Sam Kauffman Poet Free verse

Friendship

Friendship 

Friendship 
Smiles and embraces
The great and the small
With 
Laughter
Like a close companion 
Through cold whims of winter
Sends 
Compassion
With arms open to catch 
Tears shed like spring rains 
Spreads
Joy
Spinning like autumn kaleidoscopes
Life’s story shared
By  
Understanding
Hearts ‘round a bonfire on summer nights 
Delighting in the paths of shooting stars 
And 
In ev'ry season always points up
To new views
Of the brightest North Star

John Watt May 13, 2020 at 5:11 PM Sam, what a wonderful ode to friendship you have woven! Especially enjoyed the seasonal carousel and the metaphor of friendship each season provides. Loved the line "Spinning like autumn kaleidoscopes" and especially "To new views / Of the brightest North Star". Another amazing free verse, my dear friend! ~ John
