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
