i’d like to think the whole human family is bathed in love
as we walk about reading the language of bright eyebeams
covered with a fine pure golden dust  

no one a stranger, we write a letter to a dear friend
birthing gentle thoughts beginning middle & end
with every word and cursive swirl our heart shared ~ no secrets

in true trusted friendship we can talk for hours
graceful sincere communication drawn from deep experiences
some topics even a surprise to one we’ve known for years  

dearly delicious the open encounter of two in uncensored thought & feeling
a precious gift of rejoining ~ friendship brings such cheerful contentment
the moment we surrender soul to soul a radiance emerges heart to heart

be assured dear friend, no distance nor time can nullify these golden threads
moments sewn in childhood or later on along the walk of life
the radiance of a true friend glistens ~ no thing can snuff its’ bright light
