A Friendship

Hello again my friend!

The earth spins, fading and brightening

I forget, and your voice, your soul

Releases an avalanche

Of joy

Of wonder, marvel

This world that only exists between us

All of life is the wood between worlds

Each pool I jump into brings new architecture 

New texture

But in this world

This friendship 

I find a part of me so ancient, so innocent, so free

I long to drink deeply

And to feel so satisfied 

So invigorated

Inspired

Alive

Thank you

For being brave

Fire burning, flames leaping, eyes glowing

Soul spinning and weaving a universe all your own

Thank you

For letting me bask in the glow

And explore the forest paths

Delight and surprise at each new discovery 

Colors I’ve never seen

I didn’t know they existed

Until I was wound in a kaleidoscope 

Of beauty rich, and dark, and deep, bubbling

I am calmed, soothed, hushed

By what I witness

Words flee

Soul trembles, widens, makes room

I find God here, in this earthquake 

Of sound, color, and energy 

Of mystery 

Of home

Thank you, my friend 

For sharing

You
