The Definition Of Friendship Poem by Samuel James Moore

When the sun,
which we knew to be young, sets,
casting before us a tall, questioning shadow;

When the wind,
takes long strides against our course,
threatening to whisk away our breath;

When a million images,
spawn together forming a single thought,
a single will;

When the faltering beat of our heart,
and the tenuous march
of our soul slows;

When memories begin to fade,
it is apparent to those who would carry us,
that we are reaching, arms outstretched, for aid.

Friendship is defined in these moments.
