Colin F. Jones : Tone

Colin F. Jones : Bushranger's Revetment - Poetry and Stories by Vietnam Veteran, Anthony W. (Bushranger) Pahl and friends

I am, in all forms, loyal to a friend
for one does not befriend one easily,
and one does not define it as a trend
to meet a whim that so pleases him.
Yet one might challenge how this can be so,
to trust a friend one has never met.
Perhaps one needs no image then to know
(which may become a reason for regret).
But where truth lies is where few people look,
where special people reveal their very soul.
‘Tis not there written in the public book
but in the spectre of their sincere whole.
I am, in this, at peace that you are known
by all my senses that need not atone.
