Silver
and Gold – A Friendship Duet
By
Andrea Dietrich and CayCay Jennings
Your concern cushions my every footstep.
You never lean - I freely walk, talk, dance –
Knowing you would never seed my regret,
but remain golden with your acceptance.
Like pure golden ore is your lovely gift –
acceptance given without any strings.
Respecting each other, we’ll have no rift.
When free to be me, my spirit sings!
Silver and gold; silver and gold –
our friendship is a sweet treasure –
a bounty of gladness always to hold.
Silver and gold; silver and gold –
a value of two-heart measure.
My bridge of dreams could never safely rise,
protectively anchored to strongly stand
while arching to yet, higher calling skies
without your love securing it to land.
A bridge shining silver - indeed - it seems –
this friendship you’ve happily given to me.
Together let’s climb it, fulfilling our dreams
as we love
unconditionally!
Silver and gold; silver and gold –
our friendship is a sweet treasure –
a bounty of gladness always to hold.
Silver and gold; silver and gold –
Silver and Gold are, just as this fine poem... Simpatico... Love this poem, from the sources to the successes, stage by stage, on the grandest stage of all, shared.

DeleteYour lovely duet plays well together. Silver and gold intertwining, both individual, but together something even finer. Thank you for posting.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Mary Jo. This is a very musical duet. Poems in two voices are tricky.

Thank you, Isha, for the following--
ReplyDeleteThis, to my mind, is a remarkable poem as it expresses so concisely something I have never experienced but do dream of : the freedom to be yourself, knowing that all you reveal is lovingly accepted without judgement and, in turn, you give that freedom to the other. This is love.
These two poets say it all. With thanks.
Yours sincerely,
Isha Wagner
