A Thank You

You've been there for me
steady as a rock 
wiser than a sage in your assessment of things
and your insight on the things that I express

You have always told me the truth when
no one else would
you've shown me what it means to be honest
and face the truth when
the truth was the last thing I wanted to know-

I call you my miracle worker
a way shower of lost souls
a beacon that shines in the empty fog ridden day
where all the edges are blurred and run into
varying shades of grey
as last vestiges of good humor fade into silence...

you are rainbows
painted across my heart and soul.
