Scenes From The Park - Friendship

They sat on a park bench, ate ice-creams, talked

Ready to set the world right

And with each other formed a friendship

Saying all that was wonderful

Is made perfect in friendship.

The words of consolation were whispered

To a friend, given in revelation, shared,

Listening to a voice without condemnation

And held beneath the summoned breath

Back to the heart, no more rejection,

Just tears wept at the loss.

They used to sit and listen to the sound of laughter

When days were long, nothing measured, infinite,

Now they wait for the hidden treasure

To form the name, they wait for the call,

Once before they glimpsed the future,

They had been there before and knew it all.
