A Friend's Comfort

As you look thoughtful, in your eyes trouble gleams,

What secrets do you hold, in your mind's deep streams?

Melancholy on your lips, and murmurs in the night,

The stars themselves are worried, your silence a weary plight.

What shadow masks your joy, and clouds your smile?

I'm here to listen, to ease your pain for a while.

Your thoughts are like crashing waves, carrying your soul,

Together we'll find clarity, to make you whole.

Let the chiaroscuro dissipate, the light to return,

I'll be your comfort, your pillar, your friend to discern.

For I care for your happiness, in your pensive gaze,

Together we'll chase away the clouds and find serenity's rays."
