Friend

The eyes opened As withered leaves were strewn on the forest floor, Alone and sad. As creepy as silence Smothering the subtle heart with its fumes Engulfed in dust. Looking around, In the swarm of bees that it was - None appealed to its love. Insecure, afraid - None to free it of its nightmare That is eternal. Pangs of hunger Coveting acceptance as it exists, Who helps survive? Who helps nurture? Born in the lap of serenity It's sole world. Curious but restricted How far can it see, distinct and beautiful? Desperate to relate? Yes, somewhere A similar world has come into being; A curious eye. While zooming those, For a moment those meet, awestruck And know it all. As serenity conjoins The beating warmth of life, Warmth is evolved. Then him and her stay And those become they, for life burgeons As friends do meet.
