The Solitary Rider

You have walked alone;

Your heart was never my shelter,

Your arms were never my home,

Why should I claim you to be my love?

But yes, your happiness is all that counts,

I love to see when your pleasure mounts,

I listen when your heart sings a soft beat,

I take delight when you long for an enduring flight.

I know you cope with what life brings to you,

Because you only know what it's to be in love,

When your memories are sweet and filled with pride,

Your smile still radiates with the glaze in each passing stride.

I wish, our friendship must grow, flourish unselfishly,

Both of us need to be thankful for our journey so far honestly,

Since we are unsure of what life has in store.

Whether we are the travelers of an inglorious voyage or the guardians of a bright future.

None of us knows! What beckons at us?

Aimlessly we often wander, yet we carry a burden,

With so much tension and apprehension,

Around us, that we forget to address our emotions.

You always grumble that's not enough!

I repeatedly ask you what's enough?

Why can't we compromise and say, yes that's enough,

Yes, we have had enough!

Still, the gut feeling revolts and says louder " no it's not enough."

I wish our confidence and faith stand in the face of those perils and losses,

May the serenity and the eternal grace of our souls withstand the constant disgrace,

May the tranquil moments bring us peace,

To continue our journey and bring us success.
