Friends Can Share What None Can Have Alone

August 15, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is friendship.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A number and friendship poem that compares how friends see the world to how lonely people do:

Friends can share what none can have alone.
Old and good friends share an ocean view
Reserved for those whose windows open to
The breezes that from foreign shores have blown,
Yet swiftly through one’s rooms become one’s own.

Though some prefer those tiny slits in stone
Which one might shoot a cross-bow arrow through,
Or peer out of to glimpse the feared unknown.
