My Southern Cross

you’ll always be my only guiding light

even when there is no star in sight

perfect love embracing all of me

you give me roots and wings

 

my guiding star shining bright

cut and polished me like a gem

transcending time and space

anchored to you through time

 

as we slip away into the night

now, is always wrapped around you

oh remind me to breathe

as time flies by

Friendship

for time, for a season

for a lifetime

walking through the fire

embers and ashes cling to you

memories burnt into one’s story



broken promises, battered trust

like a well-travelled suitcase

full of memories and baggage

ready to be unpacked, repacked

for the next journey



neither time, distance or age

undeterred, always

comrades in each other’s arms

like long lost lovers

always returning

…..

for that last embrace
