To Be A Friend!

And so they crept in!!
Through the writer's island


Cackle of voices
silence creeping in
eyelashes drooping
thoughts rushing in


A hand that warms
A shoulder that supports
The feet that walk by the side


A smile that lasts
through the wetness
of another's tears


The smile that knows
the fleeting world
that passes through


Long calls through the night
listening to the downpour
of wordless torment


The string that connects
the bond that builds
the circle that extends
and brings them in


A thin line that's crossed
past barriers
that of strangers:

builds within
and grows without
hope and expectation


Miles apart
minds enlinked
bypassed egos
quirkiness within


Is it affection, benevolence
harmony wthin oneself
or is it

Just pure friendship??

Is that why
you laugh together
or shed tears for each other ?
