The best friend of a man
When Winter is too cold,
when girls don't look at you,
when the heart miss sunshine,
Whe the ocean is silent.

The best friend of a man
When he can't sleep anymore,
When the wheat don't grow,
When night looks like clay,
When the wine is ingestible,

is the poem that he writes,
Or the one, he is reading.

Yeah - I agree, my friend.

A question though - in the last line of 2nd stanza, did you mean indigestible vs ingestible ?

Enjoyed,

j.

We can always tell the poetry everything.  It is a beautiful place to turn to. Enjoyed this truth and the beautiful way that you spill it.

I know his hands will dig up my secrets"
