THANK YOU TO A FRIEND
Thank you, dear friend, poetry, for the way you speak my thoughts.
The way they turn to harmony—without you, they're all knots.
You put words into rhythm and sing them into songs;
You weigh them on a scale and sort the rights and wrongs.
Thank you for allowing me to share what's on my mind,
For saying all the things I think; I know they aren't all kind.
Thank you for befriending me and letting me express—
All my feelings, all my sadness, especially my stress.
Thank you, dear friend, poetry, for how you comfort me;
It's like hearing my own lullaby, I like the way you sing.
No pressure to explain myself, or justify my reason;
You give me all the space I need—I visit you in season.
Thank you, dear friend, poetry, for gifting me your mask.
You've never made me take it off; you'll never even ask.
Thank you to my friend, for sharing with your heart,
For noticing when mine goes out, and helping me re-start.
