I wish I could run
With you by my side
Laughing in the sun
No heed of bitter chide
I would show you the brook
The trees, the knoll and trails
Path reserved for when friendship
Took
In time past, in timeless dell
To run and jump like we did in the past
Over obstacles thrown our way
Even abandoned by home in fateful cast
But neither of us were homeless in early day
Children we were then, and still children now
For hearts worn when hearts met
For you is still crowned
It’s smile bidden without regret
Two bodies more different couldn’t be
For foggy guess at worlds apart
We only laugh at error made
Twin souls in Natures work of art
If only soul were enough
To deal with natures call
Or how with flame that could
not *****
In sunset - friendship
funeral pall
Though our paths differing will not cease
neither is better than the other
Heavy hands do not comfort ease
And fragile tidings crippled with blunder
Now I see you locked away
In a home of your own making
I cannot-will not free you
But look on from out glass,
while I am shaking
I wish I could run with you by my side
In this field where I stand, a lonely bird.
Presently distance resides
And no beat is heard
I want to show you the brook and dell
All is seen from where I stand
Arriviste prison my friend does dwell
I won’t trade my portion, for foolish
