Thoughts of a far away friend mingle in my mind
A smile slowly warms the contours of my face
Almost Imaginery yet still there
The chill slowly dissipates into little breezes carrying thoughts of you
A shared joke, A little support stored in the recesses of my mind
To be brought forth to bring comfort

Funny how small problems seem when they are shared
A once explosive fireis reduced to a tiny flame
Mind to Mind
heart to Heart
Soul to Soul
All these things linked make things attainable

To my friend, I offer my heart my mind... my soul
Honesty, Integrity, and Loyalty are but a few words that don't say enough
When the Path seems divided and unclear
hear are my arms
To support you when you stumble
To comfort you when you are lost in the fog
Although we aren't together, my offering still holds
For the smiles and joy and encouragement are enough for me
