friend poetry

these be
i never knew the earth had so much gold
rising moon has hid the stars
you say you love me
how like the stars are these white, nameless faces
they in the darkness gather and ask
music i heard with you was more than music
up and down he goes
with the meek, brown eyes
let a joy keep you
friend, whose smile has come to be
my mother twines me roses wet with dew
uplifting, as the wind blew
it was the autumn of the year
