Friendship

Friendship – a seamless sky, far too complex to gauge or delve. At times like the early rays of morn, it fills one with joy. At times like a gentle breeze, it cuddles and cossets. At times like dark clouds, it overcasts the mind. At times it comes blowing like a gale, sweeping us off our feet. At times it sprouts like a seedling, growing out into a tree, giving shade. It blossoms like a Night Queen, diffusing in the air, a heady scent. At times like the plaintive notes from a flute, it saddens the soul. Like a rainbow it may swiftly vanish, or remain like a beacon, guiding us when storms rage. In darkness, it burns like a candle. In loneliness, a sweet presence. At times so silent At times so very eloquent Finally like an unfinished tale, A fond memory, A lingering scent Like the life sustaining breath It remains…..!
