Friendship

The new prompt for writers Island is Friendship. Friendship is an important part of life. It gives one the opportunity to put of our mask and gives one a reassurement that we are going to be accepted just the way we are., with all our strenght and weaknesses, without being judged. In this safe environment we become what we were destined for. We always keep seeking for a friend and they come and go like the wind but some stay and the bond deepens. Living away from friends brought me to the Internet and again I found some friendships. Some pass but others stick around, encourage you and back you up. Underneath you find my poem which still feels like a rough draft to me but I hope you like it anyway. Just have to add that I had such a great time reading the contribution of my friend Keith, you must read this

Friendship

I engage with the world

as if learning the piano

exploring to find the right keys

to create harmony

often striking the wrong chords

forming a cacophony

filling the air with

an invisible wall

between me and the other

Until somebody grasps

the song that I play

I become me and

we pour out our hearts

into a golden bowl

of understanding

Unspoken words ripen and mix

with the complementary

ingredients of the mind

of the other

The safety found

equalling a mother's lap

awakens the child

music becomes play
and with fun and laughter

A symphony develops
of two souls becoming one.
