Friends.... (2013 re-write)


True friendship is not so named or weighed 
till first tested and challenged...
else...it is no more than acquaintances with "good intentions"....

Which begs the question... should there be "intentions" amongst friends?

Cherished treasures,
embraced and safely ensconced in our spiritual wombs
we nurture, protect and defend them,
accepting all their grace and faults
forgiving easily wounds inflicted by callousness, ego or greed.

Those that recognize the gift 
cherish it in kind, reaping karmic benefits;
those that do not...
their temporary purpose so served
are expelled like so much afterbirth.



True friendship is not so named or weighed till first tested and challenged...
else...it is no more than acquaintances with "good intentions"....

Which begs the question... should there be "intentions" amongst friends?
