Friendship Feast
Karen Torbiak
2000

Sitting in quiet contemplation
my spirit quests
In search of the friend
whose words I cherish

My quest leads across country
wild and tame
to come to rest
on furthest shore again

This friend of mine
whose sings so true
with words to share
from ocean blue

I read his words
and let them sing
deep inside
the heart of me

Words shared
through space and time
letting friends
each other find

Friends found
through mutual sharing
of life’s emotions
filled with caring

Then the fantasy takes me
as I fly to him
on the back of a dragon
of midnight black

My friend
come fly with me
to worlds I would
share with thee

Climb aboard
this mighty beast
that we may join
the friendship feast

Wings spread wide
to lift us both
beyond this world
that holds us back

With wind whipped face
I laugh aloud
that I can share
the air up here

Sun warming us as we fly
with playful fun
amid the clouds
that make us one

Amid blues and golds
we land on shores
where waves
lap endlessly

The feast laid out
with choicest bits
refreshing to these
souls rejoice

The beauty of the fare
was spread
upon cloth of white
in open air

Served up with beauty
and perfection
compassion, love, understanding,
acceptance are partaken

Washed down with
the light red wine
are words of caring
to quench the thirst of friends divine

Too soon the feast
comes to an end
and back to their world
are sent these friends

As the mighty winged beast
takes them home
they embrace knowing
they are not alone

Friend of mine
on distant shore
I share this day with you
and wish for more



Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams. [URL=http://path2riches.com]http://path2riches.com

Startime, now that is a quest, a wonderful write from you. I really love this one, but then I am always enthalled by dragons, kings and even the odd princess in the tower. Really well done.
Take care
