Companionship

The pace slows, the banter

apprenticed over years of practice and correction

cloaks emotions, thoughts with earned comfort

 Domesticity, a shelter from sudden squalls,

 angry winds, even scorching, boring, summer days

tags along unknown paths, abbrazzo with your mate you saunter

Ignorant you are of the blessing you received
 and others envy, when you  frivolously discard it without doubt,

seeking novelty and do-overs
