dance to a different tune
A gentle smile, a steady tone,
kindness held with careful grace.
No harsh rejection, no retreat,
just warmth that time will not erase.
A hand is raised, but not to sway,
the steps won’t come, but hearts still meet.
Not fear nor scorn, just different tunes,
two souls aligned, yet bittersweet.
No loss in laughter, none in trust,
the bond remains, though not entwined.
Not every path would lead to love,
but friendship stays—its light refined.
The connection you described,
The connection you described, with shimmering cadence and timeless elegance, is precious beyond words.
Free from pressure and pretense and needy “love”, there is room for respectful disagreements and ultimate acceptance. These are the friendships that are “refined” over the years and sustain us throughout our lives.
Artfully composed. Pure gold!
Oh my, thank you so much
Oh my, thank you so much Patricia... this has been peeled deftly but with such artistic care and devotion... over many such encounters progressive and intercalating, organically developing and blooming... a lifelong lifestyle even. Most appreciated as always
