Unconditional Friendship

When I am just empty and lonely again

I'll find beautiful landscapes, to fill it then

for that beauty is free of judgement of me

I'm not its burden, I can savour it free

I can step on a mountain with open arms

and embrace in honesty its divine charms

What it feels and intends is not my concern

for I am trusted, that is something to yearn

I can gaze over delicate slopes and curves

and touch it with devotion, that it deserves

No cringe nor rejection for my love of this

Nor am I despised for momentary bliss

I fear not of unknown, veiled duplicity

My openness is countered with honesty

I'm always allowed, not dismissed when inapt

Our endearing liaison, need not adapt

Yes, seasons will change and the weather may turn

I may be away and circumstance may churn

but when I return, it will still be the same

We will be together, nobody to blame

To myself I must say, I love you my friend

you are true to me, on you I can depend

for you are me, and I do know you so well

others may befriend, but with you I shall dwell

I know that tomorrow, you'll still be my friend

You'll not make me unwelcome for todays trend

Our unconditional bond makes us aspire

to take a few risks, to our hearts desire

I'll not exploit you, nor will you exploit me

what we will do, will be in sincerity

so we may be just a little bit naughty

but we'll do what we may, albeit haughty

If ever another may want to join in

they must be as open and as pure within

for why should we share such a beautiful bond

with one less open, stirring murk on our pond
