More than friends
We're sisters
Not by blood
But through choice
Shared experiences
Developed over time
Confidences shared
Theirs and mine
Whispering stains of sin
Fearless of judgement
Resting in the hammock
Of love and acceptance
Texting fevered daydreams
About living ghosts
Walking close to the precipice
Held back from the edge
Listening with our hearts
Making no assumptions
Shining lights of truth
On darkest oceans
Moon tides swell
In light and shadow
Together we still waters
Tame rapids in flow
Mutual support
No empty promises
Seeing ourselves completely
Proving hypotheses
Crying in laughter
As well as in pain
Funhouse of life
Not a video game
Lifting hats for each other
When life brings us down
Trusting truths told clearly
From sun up to sun down
I took a doodle from earlier this week and used it as the centre of a new digital creation today. I was enjoying the process of drawing squares and rectangles and then the way they were interesting intrigued me and this poem emerged. I hope you have someone like this in your life. I'm lucky enough to have a few of these special people in mine.
Who knows you fully
Who is allowed to see your absolute truth
Who shows you their truth?
Value that soul!
Who intersects without dissection
Who is close enough to feel your pain
Yet never breathes a word?
Cherish their heart!
Who can be called any time
Who connects immediately
Even after months without conversations?
Call that friend!
