And there
In the
Dark a
Smile barely
Seen a
Tap a
Touch searching
Love occurs
Behind you
Beyond your
Eyes it
Follows you
Like a
Shadow appears
On the
Edge of
Sight disappearing
When you
Look look
Not but
Feel in
The darkness
Not for
Beauty but
For comfort
I shall
Gather your
Things in
A box
Placing them
On the
Highest shelf
Far out
Of reach
I promise
To untie
The string
Allowing you
To float
Free and
To be
The balloon
You were
Always meant
To be
And I
Will slip
You into
A bottle
And send
You out
To sea
Allowing someone
New somewhere
Else to
Stumble upon
You just
As did
I many
Years ago
To me
Friendship and
Love outweighs
Everything it
Tips the
Scale of
Life in
Your favor
Lovers change
Like the
Seasons from
The blossoms
Of spring
To the
Humidity of
Summer to
The color
Of fall
To the
Icy death
Of winter
Ah but
Friendships and
Love they
Are the
Suns and
Moons of
Life always
There and
Always certain
To see
It was
A photo
A quick
Hello a
Question that
Ignited the
Flame of
Friendship the
Idea of
Someone new
Of stories
About miracles
And tragedies
Akin to
Withdrawing a
Book from
Many others
Studying the
Cover the
Deckled pages
And reading
The first
Words and
So it
Began just
Like this
And upon
Looking and
Not seeing
I picked
Up not
A telescope
But a
Kaleidoscope in
Where I
At long
Last brought
You near
In there
I spied
Your colors
And design
All dancing
Before me
Twirling your
Jacket a
Cape and
Your smile
A mirror
Ball I
Imagined you
There before
Me watching
You dance
With your
Daughters and
Knew then
That you
Belonged right
There not
Here only
With them
