I have met, and kept, dear friends in this life of mine,
yet, incredibly, just one special presence is always there!.
Participating many times over the years, as only we could,
pain, sorrow, laughter, fear, adventures, a few tears!.
Swimming in the ocean, we went once or twice,
lazily day dreaming on the beach, a few times or more!.
Climbing hazy, blue green mountain trails, to peaks high,
watching the sun set glow, then waiting for it to rise!.
We marveled at nature’s beauty fully captured for us,
tree edged wheat fields, comets flight, winter’s twilight sky!.
Lightening flew, tragedy struck, hitting too close to home,
the wonder of it all, is we were spared, others were not!.
Once under full moon, slow passionate love experienced,
so bound, inseparable we were, as two became one together!.
Being so close, one to the other, no possible way of avoiding,
talking turned to hearts of dreams, wishes, prays, and hope!.
We wiled sleepless nights away, under soft lamp glowing,
as many folks are apt to do, though none so close as we two!.
Recollecting airy, spring like joys of our long past youth,
though wintry blues and ailments, thankfully faded with age!.
Things in our time, we have witnessed, just you and me,
sometimes you fade out, then again, sometimes I wane!.
Connecting quite frequently in each others presence,
surprisingly, we have no more than merely touched!.
We did some wild things a few times, just you and me,
though we have never really, formally, been introduced!.
I’m me, you are you, joined til death we part it seems,
swinging along through life,,, come what may!.
my shadow and me!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
