A Poem For My All Weather Friends

Summer sunlight
Afternoon shade
Reflections on the gift of friendship

All happiness is local
It begins within
Connecting with those
You cannot imagine living without

Chaos
Cosmos
Upheaval
Peace

True friendship remains
Fair weather friendships wither and cease

Summer moonlight
Evening shade
Reflections on the gift of friendship

All happiness is local
It remains within
Connected with those
You cannot imagine living without
