“I’m lonely”, I prayed, ”Please send me a friend With whom I can dare to be me With whom I can share, for whom I can care For forever, til eternity… I waited with hope for the arrival, (please hurry) But it took quite some time for delivery When it finally arrived it took me by surprise For it came in a most interesting package I opened it up, or did it open me Many gifts in there to discover A man with new songs just came tumblin’ out Filled my senses, fed my heartfelt hunger “Take your song and work for a balance”, he said “Stay alive and live in the moment.” “Build the piece, and build the chorus, and then The poetry and imagery around it.” He talked about chakras and amethysts Patterns of stars, and the moon I sensed myself unfolding and He said, “It humbles me, I see it, too.” We’re not always steady, not always strong But we’ve learned to let our lights shine We’ve shared some magic; we’ve shared our songs Those things will be ours all through time You are my friend with whom I can dare To be who I try to be With whom I do share, for whom I do care For forever, eternally… |

quote: Kahlil...this is "more than"...as my granddaughter has taken to saying. If I say it is beautiful, she will say "it is more than beautiful" and that applies so well to this lovely... more than lovely. Sunshine |

The best songs are the ones shared with a friend, and as a musician, I appreciate how you described the feelings of sharing and caring. Bravo, my friend, as this is one poem that brings a smile with it's thoughts! Accept these small gifts from my gypsy heart ~~S~~ |
