We sit across the table,
A glass of wine in front of us
And we talk.
We talk of many things,
The many good things in our life.
Remembering those wonderful times
When life was good.
We talk of sad things,
Sad things that happened in our lives,
Helping each other to overcome them,
Bringing more happiness to each other’s lives
In a conversation.
It may be just words
But those words are important,
Important in our lives,
As it is so good to talk,
To talk to each other as friends,
Very good friends.

A good friendly write Gold.
Heck, when us two meet we chat for hours. Well, there's loads to chat about, as we been around since before 1066. 'I remember when.....' and so it goes on.
….and so it goes on Orchi, that conversation would be endless with nothing of any sense spoken.

No change there then?! Doh! lol.
you can beat an egg, a drum a carpet and sometimes around the bush .. but it just goes to show, you just can't beat a good friend ... nice little conversational piece sir, poetically speaking of course ... 🙂
Very true Neville, good friends are priceless.
Andy
It is only very recently you have been able to do that, Isn't it , Andy?
Good luck - you've done your time; I hope it works out...
I'm in lockdown right now.....
Hank you Dave, shame about you being in lockdown but hopefully it will not be for long.
Andy
Well written and well said. Now, how do I get a friend?
I am sure that you have a friend, perhaps you have a dog?

'In a conversation.
It may be just words
But those words are important,
Important in our lives,
As it is so good to talk,
To talk to each other as friends,'
a shared secret, a gifted smile
am empathetic ear
or an encouraging word;
there's so many layers
and such diverse ways
to engage and appreciate
our friends, yet
it takes a really insightful mind
to recognise
their worth: before its too - late...!
(a deeply nuanced and necessary message, Andy
as usual I really like your pacing
you have a unique way of creating flow
without excessive use
of rhyme or rigid structure
feels, so effortless to read
what a great quality, dear poet)
Words are so important in our lives Mek be it written on paper or conversed with very good friends.

The beauty of a friend cannot be bettered - good to know you are talking about old and future times Andy - - nothing as good a tonic for anyone.
Thank you Fay, yes so very true to be able to talk of many things with good friends.
