Between Friends

Sparks fly against a starless sky,

a warm breeze against your skin,

cold damp grass on bare feet,

a secret whispered between friends.

Scratchy bark on bruised knees,

giggles breaking silence,

autumn colors on falling leaves,

adventures shared between friends.

Fearlessly jumping from rock to rock,

bubbling water splashing around the bend,

slippery feet and balance thrown off,

a helping hand between friends.

Aroma of coffee and a bittersweet taste,

reminiscing about treasured moments,

a warming bond that never ends,

the love only shared between friends.
