To a Friend (poem)

Ξ February 12th, 2008 | → | ∇ Poetry, Writing |

My friend,
I love you.

I honor the life that you live,
and each moment of your glory.
I honor your strength and sincerity,
and each wound you suffer wounds me.

I love you,
and will never leave, though you may
push me away in anger.

I love you,
though you may not wish my hands or hug,
and may turn on me today.

I love you,
quietly, in the darkness where
nobody can see.

I love you,
loudly, against the naysayers and
doom-sayers and hatred.

I love you,
In your sorrow and suffering,
and In your joy and celebration.

I love you,
I will not turn away from you.
I will face you, armed only with my love.
I will honor you, bare chested, with open heart.
I will counter you, and provide the foil you need,
though it wounds me.
I will touch you, though my hand may be burned.
I will love you, even in the long night,
when we cry and suffer.

I love you.

autumn twilight

    Where two opposing forces meet, where there is change, a between place exists. These places are sacred points where the world as we know it can be suspended.

    It is here that I strive to live my life. As a mystic, I wander in and out of the between places with each waking moment; striving to find wisdom and meaning in the paths that I walk.

    autumn twilight is my personal exploration of these journeys. A place to share observations, fantasies, thoughts, experiences, and philosophy.
