My Friend Across the Land - Poem

Friendships.

One of the most beautiful things this world has to offer.

As I try to describe what a friendship could mean to a person, I find that the words are just not coming to me. I try to think for the right terminology or phrases that I could use to describe a friendship, however there is nothing coming to me.

Yet, maybe that is what a friendship defining factor is. It's when there are no words. No words to describe the closeness you feel to that person. No words to describe what he has done for you. No words to describe just how much that special connection with him means to you.

No words, for what can you say that will be able to describe ALL that sincerity, closeness and love that there is between you and your friend?

Just... How?

Recently, I wrote a poem, doing my best to describe a connection between myself and a friend. I know I said that in some cases there may not be words to describe such a splendid connection, but in this case, there was.

With that, I hope that you enjoy the poem entitled "My Friend Across the Land".

My Friend Across the Land - Poem

I sit at home
But my friend is across the land
He is miles out of my reach
On soil past ocean he stands

We share a special bond
My friend and I
And it’s still there
Even if he is in the heights of the sky

My heart bursts with beats of longing
My thoughts in a trance, repeat
I miss my friend, I miss him so
Come near to me, let’s us take a seat

I miss the fun we had
I miss his smile, cheer and care
But even if he is not here with me now
I know he will always be there
In my heart

I wish to dedicate this poem to a very dear cousin of mine who has moved out of the country due to his recent marriage. This poem was written in his honor and I wish him only success, happiness and joy with everything he wishes to achieve!
