Scattered dice,
Card stock strewn about.
Raucous laughter and mumbled groans.
Pen and paper,
Mind's eye freedom.
We all play along in this freeform play.

Lazy afternoons,
Bad movies 
and burnt popcorn.
Art penned true from heart,
As we all mock the show.
And irreverently discuss life.

Moments of doubt.
Times of fear
and endless woe.
A burden shouldered with a smile
A hand to lift up and steady oneself.
A simple question, What are friends for?
