When does the word “friend” truly have meaning?
The need to give, or to receive,
or catharsis in our lives?

Friend?

Alone At Peace
Alone
Not by myself
Surrounded by my friends
and the truest loves of my life
At peace…

Warm Blessings
If not for you I don’t know what I’d do
Might not even get past tying my shoes.
–
Close to you is where I want to be
Your compassion sets my heart free.
–
Thank you for being my friend
Adoration to the bitter end.

Trust and Honesty
Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Missy Daugherty

Trust, never taken
Instead, it’s given freely
Shared among us all
Be cautious; don’t do something
That will make them not trust you…

Magic and Mockery

The magician scoffed
And she disappeared in smoke
Never seen again.
Magic words never said again
To live in peace and not mocked.

Be Free and See
You can be free
You be you I’ll be me
Then you will see.
–
Life can be fun
More than a ton
Much, before we’re done.
–
Just be a little brave
Not quite a knave
Just yourself to save.
–
Chart your course
By car, foot, or horse
You will endorse.
–
Live your bucket list
A life of endless bliss
With your own twists.
–
Forget all of your past
Your lessons learned at last
And tests have been passed.
–
Live in the now
No sweat on your brow
Or slaving on life’s prow.
–
Find a true love
A person above
When push comes to shove.
–
That also in the end
Is a very good friend
With strength to lend
A compromising bend
And your heart to mend.

Mutuality
Know me?
Know my words
Show me
And you’ll be heard.
–
Like me?
Just say so
Hate me?
Just say “No”
–
Need me?
I’ll be there
Heed me
Because I care.
–
Feel me
I feel you
Heal me
I’ll help you too.
–
Write me
I’ll write you
Sight me
As I see you
–
Show me
That you care
I can see
You are aware.
–
Get me
I get you
Fit me
I’m your friend too.
–
Help me
We’re a tribe
We’re free
All to be alive.

Controlled Chaos
Originally Published 04/09/2024
Falling in space, we all are, at many miles an hour.
A spec a dot a piece of the universe.
Falling faster and faster and faster.
Don’t look back just keep going.
We’re all falling together in concert.
No reason no purpose just gravity.
Don’t be afraid it’s a great expanse of emptiness.
But you’re not alone you’e in good company.
Close your eyes feel the speed rush by.
Trust in yourself let your instincts take over.
You are significant don’t even question it!

Four Lunes: Seasons of Friendship, Love, and Heartbreak
A) Summer: Friendship Found
Summer reintroduced us
After a 25 year break
Becoming fast friends.
–
B) Fall We Meet, Passions Ignite
Fall we met
Things took off from there
Always looking forward.
–
C) Winter: Cold, Though We Kept Warm
Winter froze us
But we always kept warm
Sustaining each other.
–
D) Spring: Heartbreak Arrives
Spring consumed all
Ghosting without explanation you disappeared.
A huge disappointment…

Comfort from someone
Is needed but will it come
Hoping and dreaming
To receive all that support
Complete with reassurance…

My Inner Circle
3TC #ThreethingsChallenge
Three Things Challenge #M690 | pensitivity101
Do surround yourself with good people in your life.
It can take years to amass this inner circle, but believe me it’s worth it.
Make them the centre of your universe.
My people come from the various outskirts
Of my life.
Work, school, growing up, even swimming lessons.
They know me well and I can trust them and they can trust me.
It’s good to have strong people in your life that will tell you the truth.
I keep you honest and they keep you at your best.
Especially when you’re a writer… 😉
