ME. In the Shadow of the Mt.

0 posted 2010-08-17 02:35 AM


While lying in the shadows of the night,
I turned to watch you sleep
Minutes seemed like hours
Darkness gave way to a new dawning
and many questions filled my mind

Silently, I slipped out of bed
and knelt beside you
In this world of make-believe
I found myself praying
Thanking God for a friend
So sincere and understanding

Ours is a friendship brought together
by bitter tears, long loney nights
and lifes misfortunes

Together we are bonded
in the quest for a new companionship
I know not the ending of this relationship
but it has been an encounter
of sincerity, comfort and caring.

Written to me by Allen Jefferies in 1984

That's sweet. I don't have many poetically inclined friends ; (

Perhaps it's a product of my age, though.

I love poems that tell a story, and this is definitely meaningful - even for an outsider reading.
