Friendship
1. In the distance
A tree waves with joy
But as you grow near
You see it’s not made of wood
2. But metal, cold and lifeless
Covered in rust
But, a quick oil could
Bring it back to glory
3. Standing tall
Like a stretched wisp
Pulsing away into
Quiet obscurity
4. We walk down an endless hallway
Red signs blink “exit this way”
We laugh at them until they cry
Tears of woeful joy
5. A damn fine
Brick wall
6. The soft surf slips
Slowly onto the shore
Silently staring
Waiting for the Shoreman’s tale
7. An invisible hand reaches
Off the cliff face
Unknown to all
Ready to catch the falling
8. People, scrambling for their lives
Away from the endless flames
That reach over rivers
9. The man clasps her hand
The man feels her squeeze harder
The man looks over to find her smiling
They continue through the graveyard
10. Jack followed Jill, went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack looked distressed, his heart a mess
And Jill left none the wiser
