you
my many faceted friend
refract the light
in a hundred shimmering personas
and if your soul absorbs the light
it arcs in black rainbows
sparkling obsidian
shimmering beautifully

Anne,

I love this poem and have such a friend.

I don't see any guidelines for critiquing, which I rarely do. But I want to say if these lines were spaced out a little more and you replaced one of the shimmerings with a different word, the poem would "shimmer"...

It shines as is however...I like it.

Thanks,  Pat

Our friends often reflect back to us that which we project. You sparkle like black obsidian yourself! This was a beauty of a gem!

Warm hugs,
EA

Anne this is quite beautiful
though I'd agree with Pat, on the shimmering.

I have a friend like this too, amazing isn't it? this made me smile.

Always, Alyssa

thanks for your suggestion... i'm going to play with the shimmering... i appreciate your words.

this is one of my favs - simply because of the person it is about, a very unique friend.
