the friend.

she sits in her circle of friends
smiling chatting warmth
the comfort of companions
fulfilling
she smiles and laughs and shares her views
oh, but do they know,
what lies beneath her truce?

she knows their secrets
unspoken yet obvious
she knows their actions
yet she's invisible
long may be their friendship ties
however deep and true remains unbeknown.

they each have their own links
however different they may seem
appearance, personality, attitude
unique to each
a true friend
when in need, a helping hand
yes they all seem.

now distance and time have changed their ties
their destinies and future remain unknown
she can only wait
and let time reveal for itself
for what remains to be seen
may not be what she's expecting.
