Poems about Friends
Friends
People who plead with you for favours
May eventually prove to be great flatterers.
Your friends are only those
Who all the time cheerfully support
Your heart's aspiration-flames.

Friends Will Come
Friends will come
And
Friends will go.
Brothers and sisters will come
And
Brothers and sisters will go.
Who will remain with me
Forever?
My Eternity's God-lover.

Two Loving Friends
Two loving friends:
Fear and danger.
Two daring friends:
Doubt and destruction.
Two little friends:
Insecurity and futility.
Two inseparable friends:
Love and oneness.
Two illumining friends:
A pure heart and a sure life.
Two fulfilling friends:
Progress and satisfaction.
Two eternal friends:
Man the evolving God
And God the manifesting man.
~
Three Friends
He has three friends:
His friend supreme: Compassion from above.
His Heaven-friend: Originality of will.
His earth friend: Boldness of revelation.

My Life Long Friends
Simplicity is my lifelong friend.
My simplicity-friend has cut down my desire-tree.
Sincerity is my lifelong friend.
My sincerity-friend has snapped my guilt-conscience-chain.
Purity is my lifelong friend.
My purity-friend has secretly told me that love is the only force,
the illumining force, the fulfilling force, the supreme force.
Divinity is my lifelong friend.
My friend divinity teaches me how to live always inside the Source and how to live only for the Source, the perennial Source.
Immortality is my lifelong friend.
My friend Immortality tells me that here on earth my heart's inner cry is the only thing immortal, and there in Heaven my soul's smile is the only thing immortal.
My Beloved Supreme is my lifelong Friend.
My Friend, my Beloved Supreme, tells me that here on earth His Grace is my only salvation, and there in Heaven His Face is my only satisfaction.
O my simplicity, sincerity, purity, divinity, Immortality
and Beloved Supreme friends, to each of you I offer my own Eternity's gratitude-heart, my own Infinity's oneness-source, my own Immortality's perfection-delight.
