The Gift

Tucked inside her softest
    touch
wrapped in pastel hues
there lies a gift of greatest
    value
lighted by the purple moon

When sadness sweeps my
    landscape
as darkness clouds my
    view
she echoes ‘cross the chasm
to wrap my bleeding
    wound

And resting in her palm
    of hand
sparkling with twilight
she gives to me her
     friendship
and whispers it’s all right
       and takes my hand
             and dries my tears
                   and guides me toward
     the light.



With love to my friend.
