Theme: ENDURING FRIENDSHIPS

Mikey:

When the Night Air becomes the Daytime Sky
Time Drifts away and our Lives Limp on By
Raven come to Life and Hooting Owls Fly
As Dreams fade away and all our Dreams Die

But with your Hand my Friend now I Stand
When the Devil says "No!" and I don't Understand
I'll asked for the Simplest things but get nary a Demand
And end up with an estranged Man in a Strange Land

But see Like Bob Ross says I'm a Happy Little Mistake
Over the Ocean under the Moon of the Crescent Rainbow
Drawn by the Hands of a Child Innocence Know
That I'm in the Precipice to take that plunge on a Stake

Will you Help me to Stand my Friend, Free me from my Bonds
Or leave me in the Pit of my Despair berift of your Rainbow deep in the Abyss with the other Vagabonds?

Rajvik:

The sunrise slips through my blinds,
As I wake to thoughts undefined,
Uncertainties dance within my head,
Anxiety tightly clenches, filling me with dread.

In their eyes, who am I really?
A chapter to read, a momentary thrill,
Or am I the whole story, their beating heart,
A vital character, an essential part?

An answer awaits, just a phone call away,
But the hesitation lingers, words in disarray,
What if's linger around every bend,
The sound of awkwardness, a message to send.

Finally, I dial the number with uncertainty,
Silence greets me, chaotic yet serene,
My heart pounds fiercely in my chest,
As each question answered, I finally find rest.

A myriad of queries, met with simple replies,
Politeness masking assumptions, sly,
Insecurities take flight with a single 'yes',
Truth revealed, falsehoods put to rest.

A flicker of hope blossoms within,
The belief in humanity, where life begins,
What lies ahead? A start or an end?
Together, we'll uncover, hand in hand.

But perhaps, the one we seek is not them,
Our true need lies within ourselves, my friend,
Forever may not be true, but what if it is,
A love that persists, an eternal bliss.
