With You
“There is a friend closer than a brother”
With my friend I have run on silken feet
Through the moonlit gaze of snow-kissed trees
Followed scents, winter’s stillness to greet
Together, loosed the coral of our hair
Swaying with the ocean’s lullaby
Dived as one to drink of untouched depths
Sung with joy the whale’s timeless cry
We’ve broken bonds that chained us to the earth
Communing through the silent stratosphere
Clung to understanding’s feathered vanes
Dared to seek the sun’s refining sear
And as we’ve wept from dark and twisted paths
Mingled tears have drawn us to the Light
So we wash the grime in rivers of Truth
See - her soul, like an opal, shimmers bright.

What a wonderful poem, and such a treasured friendship. A true blessing that is not bound by miles nor time.

Very beautiful poem, Zoe. Do believe in your own distinctive and brilliant voice...it is there. For example:
We’ve broken bonds that chained us to the earth
Communing through the silent stratosphere
Clung to understanding’s feathered vanes
Dared to seek the sun’s refining sear
...exquisite lyricism. xj
