You Are...Dedicated To My Best Friend

You are…
A flower caught in the winds of change,
A gleam of sun casting a shadow of devotion, 
and compassion in the midst of casualty, to worn to be seen.
You are a supporter of reality checks and a dream that many, 
are not able to hold in their insignificant hands

You are…
Unaware of how you effect the world around you
with your infectious smile and attractive attributes.
Lonely but not alone, you shove onward through
the doubts of many and welcome the support
from the few who call you friend

You are…
An amazing rainbow of color swirled in a
contrast field of black and white dandelions.
You are a beautiful melody in the chambers of a mute symphony,
confused by the lack of audience participation.
And a welcome sign in a local corner café,
eager for the conversation of its nameless visitors
