the gift of friendship
note to self
when a friend
comprehends the
deepest plane of you—
the heart space where
no words are required
and delight dances—
you have been given a
precious, shared jewel
time and distance may facet
that gem, augment its grace
how the angles redirect the light
if it’s a true friend, one who
lives in being with you
that jewel cannot be harmed—
it is safe, reliable, eternal

Hi Skye, I have been enjoying all the poems/not yet poems, but this morning’s really got. It’s really beautiful. I sent to a friend of mine (56 years of friendship). She is also a poet and I knew she would love it. And she did! I am attaching an unpublished poem of hers that she wrote to me a few years ago. I love this poem, too. love, Barbara

Thank you! You’ll need to attach the poem to an email—don’t think you can do that here. I’d love to read it!
