An ode to a friend
Silently move by the shore
In the descending dusk
The moving tide beside us go
Drawing new patterns in the sand
Each time to and fro
Like in life many moments are hard
To be there when it gets bad
Like a rock you stand by so sturdy,
A friend who understands is friend indeed
Like a tree your shade is a silent strength
Now celebrate time with each other dear
Seek joy from simple things in life
A singing bird, the setting sun,
How the shine rolls up its light and is gone
Like a light man at the end of a show
Look at the night sky on a full moon night
The feel of breeze on the hair let loose
To catch the wind clasping us tight
Laugh and talk like little kids in school
We part ways, go our own way
Till we meet some other day
When we hear each other calling
Come let’s meet , its been a while
Then together watch the world passing by

you've presented in your "An Ode to a Friend" poem.
We need meaningful connections with others...then...
no matter how far apart...you both live...there is always
the "hair let loose To catch the wind clasping us tight
Laugh and talk like little kids at school"....and keep
you both attached...going with you wherever you journey.
Your poem's words J.K. deeply touched my heart.
Thank you for sharing your masterpiece.
..friends, yes, where would we be without them to share special moments, relive special memories just for the fun...and be ourselves with...no acting required....
Hugs,
Diana...

The poem has a serene feeling where it is neither speaking of breaking up nor does it show any discord between the two friends which makes them part and it isn't even time that breaks them apart.
It is simply the circumstances that has made them grow like two trees next to each other entailed in each other but yet there came a time where on their journey, they incidentally had to go two seperate ways to fulfill some goals of life which weren't linked to each other.
And so nice!
