Soul friends

Your soul and mine

Are still old friends

Even though the years and distance

That separates us

Seems vast

Still there is a place for you

And all of our precious and painful memories

Deep inside of my heart

There are resonances I feel

When we see the things each other share

And I recall so fondly

The help you gave to me

Coming out of my darkest times

I never really got to say thank you

Your abandonment stung

But I was also treading water

Failing to commit

To forward motion

I cannot now regret anything

Wasnt it all just a necessary part

Of my ancestral path

But lately at dusk I think of you and of us

Cycling through those green luxurious

English fields

Sharing a cup of Earl Grey tea

At the Orchard

Those my dear were such precious times

I will always treasure

And I want you to know

Despite our hurting past

Your soul and mine

Are still

Very good friends.
