Three Small Songs For the Muse
1
My oldest friend looks for me
On a dark road
Nights I can’t sleep,
We are lonely together.
We are yellow jackets in late summer,
Beating at the screen
We are two old women holding hands
At the funeral of a friend.
We are two children playing
“Who Am I?”
You put your hands over my eyes
And in their darkness,
I know for sure
That at the end,
The playful stranger who appears
Is not death
But love.
2
So you’ve come again
With a new face;
An unsettling thought
In my settled life.
You’re a woman, a man.
You change the names for love
Each time you come.
3
We walk in the ocean
Not Far from shore.
We walk on the bright shore
And you call me over
To show me something: a shell.
You name it, and we laugh.
We spend days talking,
Doing very little.
For so long I’d been praying,
“Come to me.”
“I’ll find you,” you said
And you did.

The Reflections of the Love of Dearest Friends

My friends are so important to me. Such a poem touching. My BFF just came and help set up my new computer a thanks less task she did willingly 🙂
They are a special breed. And a blessing
So very beautiful, the music and your poetry. I have two long time friends who live in Ireland and Scotland, one I haven’t seen for 20 years but we keep in touch, I love them both dearly and your poem and the music described how I feel about them both…missing them but they are always with me. Thank you for this lovely gift today!
My best friend and I have been friends for 35 years. We haven’t lived anywhere close to one another since the first year. We have managed to always be there for one another. Cheers to you and your friends.
a beautiful ode to friendship. Where would we be, who would we be, without those special ones who know us like no other?
lovely, I have been thinking about friendship a great deal lately. Missing some of my oldest friends and wondering how to connect with newer friends through my own trust issues.
Trust issues do make it difficult. I have them also. I would advise one person at a time. You beautiful heart will bring the right people to you.
I can empathise Valentine, it is difficult. What Ms. Rebel says is true; viewing others with a loving mind brings loving people to you.
