He’s swept away by this room full of people Like a giant wave of things that could have been That might have been Pulls him under and slams him down Barely returning to the surface That corner looks so inviting But the view from there is a brick wall His muscles tighten as fear takes hold His head drops and his eyes gasp for air But then she walks in through the door And his heart falls to the floor Now he’s standing in front of life’s mosaic A gift that everyone endures She doesn’t even notice him Then to his right a voice chimes in Like a sweet breeze of seraphim She said, “Im adding this entry in hopes it will help you.” “The only thing you need to understand is that people grow and change.” “What you had before will never happen again.” Now he gathers his heart up off the floor In hopes of reconstruction Or maybe just out of stupidity He begins to realize that pretension is a rough road And as much as he wants to he can’t Take those things he said back He’s stuck for what seems like an eternity Trying to put the pieces back together There’s a voice by a normally unabated friend “Don’t give up.” He says He breathes again for the first time in months And begins to laugh “Excuse me.” He says dropping his grief A certain sign of relief He finds his nerve that’s been lost all along He happily sees he wasn’t wrong A million thoughts are streaming like a river Through his head Abruptly stop He’s beginning to find his wings all over again |

The most enduring find these truths self evident...friendship is a relationship that endures; and there is a best friend always within the self. Welcome to Passions. Enjoyed your first post. Thought provoking. ![]() |

Beautiful, made me feel compassion more than skin-deep. A friend to help you accept is invaluable.. Was this a tribute, or part of a history? Pops |
