Sonnet: To Our Friendship

Strolling in moonlight or playing attuned
Pulsing in moments feeling mighty fine
I on the solo flute, you the bassoon 
Double-blind and tone-deaf yet we align

The bees hum about clover and sweet peas 
Mingled with fragrances from rare flowers 
From morning till night, day is ours to seize 
For us whose pleasure gladdens by the hour

Do not whine and whimper or stare aghast 
Our friendship will last through our silver heads 
With mirth to drive us forward unabashed 
And visions of fairies and hues of red 

You make the cloudy days appear sunny
On how I love you my bosom buddy

Us 
two at 
the orchard 
slicing a pear—
my best friend and I, 
feeling mighty fine. Rub 
rub its soft white skin, knife it 
and share. Broad-headed fruit of gods 
in the s u n s h i n e, this bliss so divine.
Us two at the orchard s l i c i n g a pear.

      Oh yes. Friendship is a sustaining force in our lives. The old ones are so amazing but so are the new ones. Wow.
      This factor is the best value come out of the internet accessibility. I couldn’t have foreseen it.
      Thanks for being my new friend, Nancy. Bless you.
