Fallen Beams
~*Marge Tindal*~

Across the streams of yesterday
fallen beams of short-lived dreams
became the pathways stepping-stones
taking me across the river of regret
to mend a friendship breached long ago
leading me where I haven't been yet
... yet back to where I should go

Light of hope falls in front of me
casting shadows where I've been
Stepping so lightly across your beams
seeking the glow of a long-lost friend

Suddenly before me a doorway opens
Your smile spreads as wide as your arms
Folding me in with gentle chiding
"I've missed you, friend."
"Where ya' been hiding ?"

I have certain friends [my fortune I have more than some] that share with me the passing of days, weeks, months....when suddenly we are calling, writing, seeking each other....

constantly....ESP....moon's dance....perchance....

but I never question it....I just hug them...

Marge, another one to pull at us and maybe make a few phone calls. . .

Work like money doesn't matter, love like you've never been hurt, dance like nobody's watching...

And that is just as it should be ...
Forever starts with a hug !

To even hope that you might be stirred to call a long-lost friend
makes me understand why I felt the need to post this one.
Thank you.

Marge--True friendship is one that takes up where it left off...even though time has moved...it is like time stood still.  Thanks for reminding me.

If we let each friend be a good friend -
then even one is too treasured to lose.
Thank you so much for the read and reply.

Margie girl, am I simply to call you friend? Nay say sister, sister of my heart and always I'd know the path to you and you will always have a place here in me.

Love you always sister mine. That's true life is far too short to lose one friend, this reminds me of the saying a stranger is friend you haven't met yet. You have a million friends dear Margie girl, because they love you, as do I!

Take care sweet sister, love and lots of warm stuff
              Mushy
              

Did I forget to say this is outstanding, always so beautifully written love, you are superb, as a sister, a friend and as a poet. And you're a truly awesome person too, love you, now I'll fly out of here, to return as and when I can.

Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same
