Our friendship

The shoreline is clear and the water is dark as the night sky
We’ve walked here so many times the path seems too short
Our words are heartfelt and are whisked away leaving us lighter
The stars are pondered as is life and the great unknowns
From our path we leave for days, weeks, years, who knows
But it will always remember our footsteps in its wet sands
Two sets of feet cared down the shoreline to an unknown
A friendship that has grown through trials and much kindness
Never shall the waves forget the spoken words in the dark
Of two souls bound in ties of friendship whispered to them
For like the waves they are dynamic but will always come back to shore

failling

it hurts so deep inside of me
every tear that fall rips
shredding the few strands of hope
with every silent prayer
i wish for your humor to save me
that your wishes for me are fulfilled
i struggle with the knowing i let you down
day by day and failure after failure
the tear fall as burning reminders
never to give up and face the fears
the tear tracks mark my pathway
to redemption and goodness
