 I was thinking today of the garden, I used to have At the house with the big back yard At least that’s what the kids and I called it when we lived there many special years ago I mean you could fit Ohio in the darn thing! Which of course, isn’t true in the very least bit You could only fit, Cleveland I remember these two vines I planted at the ends of our fence As time went by their tendrils somehow couldn’t help but embrace each other And it reminded me of the elegance, of friendship That you can grow separately Without, growing apart You know that you are friends for life, when some of your best conversations consist of years, of silence Intervals apart of respect and dignity are some of the stitches of care and relationship The tongue of togetherness is not words but worth Value As in I, very much appreciate, you As someone most valuable To me But then how do you put a price on the sharing, of endearment… You don’t Because the freedom of friendship will always be free Just like the daydream and dawn of, belief The only cost is that you are never, ever, lost And I wonder, if that is the true thing anyone ever wants To finally, be found |

"And I wonder, if that is the true thing anyone ever wants To finally, be found" I like this. We will never know every thing about another and that is good I think. But "to be found" is like saying, Look What I Found and it is lovely or it is beautiful or I am made so happy by this find. Just my feeling.I would love to be "found" again. I was "found" twice in my life and revel in that. Jo |

I really like this poem. Your words are completely honest and true ~*~ If they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

And it reminded me of the elegance, of friendship That you can grow separately Without, growing apart Such beautiful awareness is a true gift of your heart. Highly appreciated the psychological research combined with your poetic skills, dear Richy. Margherita |
