When Among Friends

When among friends,
accomplishments reach new heights
For they are held up for view upon collective arms.
Placed upon a billboard of love,
the smallest feat becomes one of unspeakable magnitude.

When among friends,
grief is washed away by a sea of tears.
It is wrapped up tightly in an invisible embrace.
It is split between so very many hearts, that it is calmed.
Sedated.

When among friends,
fears lose their cowl of the unknown.
They are bared in the glaring light of existence,
for surely one of us has been in this place before.
And if it is no longer a stranger,
then there is no longer a fear.
It has been felt.

When among friends,
the smallest joy is a seed
that rapidly takes root,
and grows into a redwood of elation.
The strong arms spanning out,
open wide to the world.
Look at me!
Share in this wonder!

When among friends.
There exists no loneliness,
for there are always shoulders
to rest your head upon.
Ears,
to hear whispered pleas of help.
Hands,
to grasp yours in a firm grip.
Reassuring.

When among friends,
You are home.

Oh, yes, this is so, so true! You have penned it excellently! I love this, seraphin! Definitely a keeper here!

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

Sven, you always have something nice to say to me. I do appreciate the words coming from one I so admire.
Sunshine, that is exactly what I was trying to project. Home sweet home.
Snowpants, I am flattered. Thank you.
Thank you all. I'm in a rather pensive mood tonight. It seems to be reflected in my words.

seraphin, So true. What can I say? I can't get by without my friends, and who'd want to.
