Best Among Rest
Best Among Rest


A friend's success reflects with happiness shining in your eyes,
As the friend swallows your tears with reassuring smiles.
That's a friend whose heart quips for you, best among rest,
Bonding beyond measure, a friend for life shall manifest.
Like wind water, sun and sky, when two friends get together,
Dreams no longer a secret, wish best for each other.
Krishna and Sudama's is celebrated with pride,
Between Karna and Bhanumati there was nothing to hide.
Damon and Pythias was indeed a legend,
Drona - Drupad, their ties too in the same breath is mentioned.
Sita and Trijatha, Hunters of Artemis, a
bond so unconventional,
They proved in providential friendships, not always intentional;
To seek revenge against Pandavas, Karna was a good find,
Befriending by crowning him, Duryodhana had an axe to grind.
The daily facade of friendship in a polity, not an obscure fact,
Pulling wool over mass' eyes, sealing a convenient pact.
Best friendship is based on trust, guided by great affection,
Such a relationship can never bring with it, ill-will or destruction.
Challenge lies not as much in finding but being one,
One's role too requires, to be the best chum winsome.
