The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship

A subtle-less wink sparks an interest

That ignites a smile

All the while

Thinking hmmm, what if???

Words chosen selectively

Spoken respectfully

Effectively make their way

Back and forth over the air waves.

Bringing a smile to my lips

A sway to my hips

A bit bottom lip

Leaning back on my couch I sit

As with crossed legs I sip

On some Paul Masson with a twist

And I say to my smiling self,

Yeah, life is good!

For hours on end we conversate

As the minutes congregate

And time cultivates

The foundation of our friendship.

But how can this be?

So suddenly?

We know each other barely.

And now since the ice has been broken

Despite many words having been spoken

Let this be the token

Of a new found friendship

A bond not meant to be broken.

There's still so much more to say at

Future meetings of

Face to face greetings

Perhaps a cafe table seating?

Hmmm, what if ???

But as time and conversation

Nears their end

Mutual feelings bring forth

Comfort and healing

Revealing a light to the clearing

The groundwork has been laid.

A detection of sadness

Was sought in my eyes

From a photo of me

I will not lie

It won't be denied

But I've had God and time

On my side.

This is the beginning of

A beautiful friendship

That was obviously meant to be.
