Friendships Beyond Time And Space

 Every time I come online, someone I once knew has crossed over.

So before we enter into the second month of a new year, here's a piece to ponder upon.

Salute.

___________

In time 

As the slow seconds 

Tick

We can sometimes 

Forget

As we wilfully enjoy 

Our lives

And all the ensuing 

Politics 

The family 

Or friends

We've always taken for 

Granted 

Might be unknowingly 

Struggling 

Or in a real fix 

So this year 

Break those chains

Of self-imposed bondage 

Acknowledge 

That they maybe 

Alone or feeling 

Despondent 

Remember 

To still visit 

Those friends and family you cherish 

With fondness 

For all clocks tick

And follow

A strange and

Mysterious dance

Remember 

To embrace their love and friendship 

 

While they're still alive

Whilst 

You still have 

A chance 

In 2025
