friend

I will always remember
you when Rayleigh scatter
sunsets fill the sky,
and the smell of
tangy orange blossoms
hang in the air.
as the dirt road
takes me to
endless tantalizing twilight
where we could laugh
and cry together.
Where I can thank the
heavens anew for having
a friend like you.
a thousand memories
and a shoebox full of wishes
accompany our story.
I hope days will never
tie shackles to your ankles
and that you will
always keep your eyes
focused on the beautiful.
