Softly my friend

Softly, my friend

This beauty is placed

To be viewed

To touch a place

Deeper than skin

With bleeding ink

With a heart

Not copycat words

Or overused clichés

A sin.

No, this is for you

So each step taken

Shall be a walk among clouds

As a breeze caresses your skin

As though hands touched

Across the miles

To give you inner peace

Like you’ve done

For me, my friend
