True Friends

I see beyond your veil I hear the voice of your silence I touch the air you breathe I am your friend You hid your secrets with me where they won't budge You poured your heart to me cos I won't judge You prayed me a miracle in the midst of the surge You are my friend I talk to you even when you can't hear me I smile at you even when you can't see me I hold your hand even when you can't feel me I am your friend Your lips speak the truth others fear Your eyes tell a story loud and clear Your hands drip with oil and myrrh You are my friend I see the strength in your weakness I see the light in your darkness I see the joy in your sadness I am your friend

Great write Jason, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about you're poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. You're New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
