A half a world apart
You and I my friend
Yet closer to my heart
Is no one else at all.
Intimate secrets we share
By simple words and images
For our joined souls to bear
The pain and sorrows we own.
Dangerous escapes to the park
Fleeing the emptiness and shame
Escaping the light in the dark
Where lures are hidden in love.
Did the darkness take you away?
Have you fled the hollow halls
For the false hopes of a better day?
Are you finding the healing you need?
No more words or images
Cross the earth and sea
Over electrical wired bridges
To bring a glimmer of hope to me.
Author notes
This is of course #3 about a lost friend. It may be a bit unfair, because I know of whom you speak. I too wait for a word of hope.
