Poem 24- But A Shadow

I am but a shadow, traveling through this land.

I am but a leaf, swiped away by a hand.

I am but a thought, whisked away in an instant.

I am but a sigh, taken from a remnant.

I am but a breeze, aimlessly flowing.

I am but a ember, slowly dulling.

I am but a whisper, that falls on deaf ears.

I am but a droplet, that flows down with the tears.

I am but a man, searching this earth.

I am but a shadow, which has lost its birth.

Poem 23- A Friend

A friend is some one who cares;
A loveing heart, a world apart. 

A friend is some one who listens;
A open mind, a fantastic find.
 
A friend is some one who is there;
A perfect being, a precious string.
 
A friend is some one who sees all;
A wet shoulder, a fearless soldier.
 
A friend is some one who is close;
A unbreakable union, a new insight in.
 
A friend is some one like you;
One I can count on, one I will carry on.
