The friends we meet by the way
I owe it all to you for making my childhood dreams come true, when I didn’t know what to do, you met together in secret and you collect benefit for profit, you rally around me to make sure that I obtain my degrees, I didn’t know what to do until I fell off the cliff, you picked me up and handle me with delicacy and care, my strength came back and my energy was at the top. I honestly didn’t know about you until I lost my only pair of shoes, I couldn’t move around but heaven on the throne lift me up from the ground. I work from morning till night to live a decent life, no one asked me how you are and no one asked me how do you do, but I could hear the silent voice speaking in you; I observe it in the wind and I could hear it when my spirit is still. Your presence is always here, and I know that a heaven cares. I walk the street alone in my thread bare shoes and old gown and sometimes my heart weeps when no one is around, when the universe acts as if it doesn't care, I know that you are always there. No one calls me, no one come to see, and no one asked me if I am happy or I am hungry. I have waited for half a century to have a dialogue with the deity, for the things we learn from our youth are the road maps that teach us the truth and how to choose and now I am out there, and I have nothing to fear. The friends you meet by the way have no mandate and they are not here to stay. They are kind and precious and they are the people you can trust. I spend most of my life in Asia, mingling with various cultures, we had some wonderful time and life was divine, but we had the conditions that we needed to survive. Life was hard and just about everyone was traveling and living abroad, we had many silent prayers and several good hours. There was no discrimination in the streets and there was no one to disrupt my heart; there were lots of love in the street. The friends you meet by the way have all gone away; they have served their propose well, to prevent you from going to hell. Good friends are hard to find but heaven will dispatch one in time. I have an appointment at three so meet me by the sea; my long-lost friend is coming to see me.
The friends meet by the way will be there for you all the way.
