TO A FRIEND

sometimes I miss you

as the earth would miss the moon

if it drifted away and said

it's ok i'll be back soon.

 

Knowing as I do that

bonds are hard to break,

and freedom is a heady wine

 

at times like these

when thoughts entwine

its almost more than I can take.

 

friendship

I read this yesterday and it made me cry. I love the simplicity, the dotted rhymes but mostly the amount of feeling in the piece. This really resonates.

Awwr Ray...christ, I know that feeling. I often think of my two dear friends, now long gone, and it aches inside so much. I grieve for them in a way I never did with my mother.

Love the brevity and simplicity of this, with the emotional punch to the guts that it provokes, as it raises the individual memories of the reader.
