FRIENDSHIP LINGERS

Friendship lingers beyond time
With modernity the echoes live on:
Will records ever capture the truth
When what exists is digital rendering
Of the mainly banal conversations?
Obliteration of the profound words
Leaving a vacuum, rarely filled.

Friendship lingers beyond time
In words she echoes through seers:
Her truth is eternally present here
In things as things are always seen
Captured in every-day conversations:
Observations in her profound words
Fills the vacuum: love released.
