I have recently
Discovered friendship love
We trip over
Each other like
Floppy eared puppies
Or colts out
In the pasture
Like pinballs bouncing
And like limes
In a drink
We compliment others
Just like the
Moon can’t be
The moon without
The sun doing
It’s quiet part
We are as
Important as a
Snowflake in a
Blizzard or a
Leaf in fall
A bud in
Spring or a
Drop in downpour
We are but
One in a
Deluge of others
Be the best
One thing in
Many inspire all
And show them
How to simply
Be the best
One of many
I feel like
A billiard game
Setup and broke
Apart by ones
That look like
Me but have
Selfish purpose it
Aims and collides
Sending me sailing
Off others and
Out of play
Until all of
Me is spent
Then I’m silent
The game over
Then at once
Racked up again
And sent careening
Just like meteors
Sometimes time is
A pinch this
Space between thumb
And your forefinger
That brief that
Pause that thought
What if
Every single moment
Of every single
Moment was that
What if if
If that was
Life
What if those
Snaps
Those moments
Stop now
Were life
That click that crack
It’s gone now
And back we
Go to normal
But isn’t that life
You live life
I live mine
Circling like magnets
Some times opposed
Other times attracted
We dance there
Never ever sure
What the other
Will certainly do
Careless and carefree
Two of us
Here in space
