~ The Poet's Place Cafe~

To You, My Friend


The years have spun like threads,
some bright, some muted,
yet the tapestry of our connection holds,
unfrayed by distance,
untarnished by the relentless tick of time.
I remember that rain-soaked afternoon,
the cafe with its steamy windows,
and the laughter that tumbled out,
mingling with the city's sigh.

A small moment, perhaps, to the world,
but a cornerstone in the architecture of us.


Through shadowed valleys and sunlit peaks,
your voice has been a steady compass,
a quiet strength in the whirlwind.
Words unspoken, yet understood,
a silent knowing that transcends the need
for constant affirmation.
And so, this unrhymed offering,
a simple acknowledgment of the profound.


For the easy silences,
the shared joys, the burdens lightened,
for the unwavering presence
that colors the ordinary
with hues of the extraordinary.

You are a gift, this bond we share,
a constant in a shifting world.
