to bless friendship




For sage spoke, "a friend in need
is a friend indeed", may treasure be
found through friendship as connection
lifts the dark veil of need.

May smile shared anticipate smile
returned by friendship's warm glow.

May lightness and freedom bring strong
bonds to friendship's climate, be it storm or calm.

May the songs of friendship bring
resonant unison, bright harmony,
and playful counterpoint.

May "puppy-like" adoration keep
friendship fresh and clean.

May friendship establish precedent
as time becomes the subsequent.

May friendship arrive with energy,
reveal opportunity, and initiate activity.

And as days emerge one by one from
each other, may the inner peace
of self-friendship inform the world
of friendship's just rewards.

I like to think the friendships I develop with students "lift the dark veil of need." Such a grand line, that.

Thank you for sharing, as always. :)

I dont have many friends but the few I do have I stick by and try and be there for them.
I wish sometimes my life had a bit of the love and wisdom that your words give out.
