I step into the shadow fairing my way to the distant tide,
watching you pass and seeing the shadows fade,
listening to problems you had,
   

In the light you took a sip,
spoke to me with tender words,
    to the distant steps,
 I stepped back,
  only to see you as a shadow,
    Fade to my side,

 
    Held only the words you spoke, within content,
I walked away,
    falling;
 only to look back at the footsteps I took,
to proceed my distant walk,
    in knowing you,

No more drinks,
no more sadness, I cried out your way,
I walked with tears as I fell again and again,
    to hear the souls of many here,
    to the shadow it fades its distant words, as time wears on,
 

You say your in tears,
The bottle keeps opening
over and over again,
I'm in tears, you proceed to drink more brew,
words that spill out begin to make no sense,
 

 Only walking in shadows to your past,
turning up memories that haunt you,
    As the tide turns,
I come to you with my light and armor,
to give comfort to a good  friend.

Knowing I can never hold the one falling to my side,
what comfort I gave to your side,
    Only if your soul enlightens,
and wants to reach out to me,
Can I help;
 

When you drop the bottle by your side,
No longer hostage by words you did not mean,
will my shadow return,
to your side, to help you in anyway,
 to show you a better life,

"Another  Cup"

A Friend is one who stands with you ,
to make you smile,
always there when in need,
 

Always with a cup of coffee and a few good words,
 sharing a new wonder they stumble on,
always sharing thoughts,

Grasping for each others time,
reaching for kindness,
 in their ever ending battle for happiness,

So come; share these times;
drink a sip of coffee,
as I share my time with you,

One more cup,
we will bring together our good times ,
For all that is met in friendship and kindness,

We'll share another cup,
of lives ups and downs,
Each time we sip together,
for being here with each each other,

"Holding the Soul"

 

To my friend I hold what's felt deep inside,
To touch;
I reach for the whispers, so pleasantly induced,
what surrounds deepness within your very soul,


Touching the love you gave too me,
The smiles that held me to your side,
To each moment shared,
for love you gave,
  

To you; I always returned,  
with my soul nourished in every moment spent,
ravaged by closeness beauty held in splendor drift,


For every word spoken,
was a moment of pleasure to my soul,
holding together times precious moments of being with you.
