Best Friendshipsister Poems
Rejection floated over her head like a cartoon bubble
Repeating her broken heart moments
Resolutely she pushed on toward the library
She'd hide awhile between the covers of a book
She'd wipe her tears with words and wisdom
She'd striaghten her spine while carefully turning friendly pages
A voice called her name
A face smiled bright
A pair of arms stood wide open in front of her
Her soul sister
Her friend
Her fellow poet and a favorite confidant
Come share some soup with me
Come share some peace
Come share some warmth and renew your spirit
Soul Sister said all this, but not in so many words
Soul Sister knew the unspoken language of love
Soul Sister reminded her to hear the whisper of another friend
While eating from two steaming bowls
