Poems Of The Third Order

My friend

We spoke unspoken things

We rode on broken wings

We wrote a symphony with broken bows and broken strings

We harmonized to bring each other simple hope from hymns

I still remember the day that I met you

To begin with, I didn't quite get you

And I bet you didn't get me

Remember the days of getting acquainted

We were chained together with pain

But yet its the same tether that made a friendship

That no oppressor could tame

We severed the chain

Shedding the weight

And made a clever escapeThrough terrible weather

Together we celebrate

By any given measure you make

We're the best the better the best of mates

Akin to lonely folk and kings sharing a token drink

Opening a link once closed

To simply sit like friends and sing

We broke the mould

And showed the whole world what we both can bring

But a pin that's soaked in ink

And poked in skin can only sting

Like broken bones, and broken oaths

So just carry me and I'll lead you

Shelter me and I'll feed you

Hear me and I'll see you through

Together we do whatever we need to do

But with you I'm not scared to share the real me

Just knowing you care can heal me

Can you feel me?

I'll be a sword if you shield me

Might never get a chance to say goodbye

When its too late you're gone

We two may be separated

But it's you that made me one

When I'm away please stay strong

Remember what it takes to break these bonds

Place oceans and seas between us

They'll seem like lakes and ponds

I care about your whereabouts

Share yourself with me

Feel free to dare to doubt

I swear I'm there to help

You're tearing down the scary towers

Bearing down and staring out

And glaring down at me

There's no bounds to what were amounting to

To what you and a pal can do

Insurmountable mountains

Become minuscule mounds

When we meld as two

I keep the principles you held us to

And they help us through

Still here when I'm out of view

That chill you felt I felt it too

That chill you felt I felt it too
So

I'm just glad you're My Friend
