Light the way

Light the way

A Poem by victoria

Sitting here in this Penninsula of pain,
I had nothing to loose, all to gain.
A past connection,  allowed your intervention
a welcome contradiction to my world of addiction.
Eager to please or downright resistant, 
I was a sinner you appeared a winner.
We teach what we most need to learn you say,
from dark into light, you showed me a way.
Took some hurdles for our roles to discern,
flattery bred yearn, our purpose is to learn.

Gently removing your crutch it was time to fly
it took true love, true friend,  you are a natural high.
So why do others not understand, 
why is such open sharing mentally banned.
Our ticky tacky energising chat,
it's not exclusive, why don't they get that?

Im freer, not self limiting you see;
I can tell you what you mean to me.
With you I can wallow in the tragic, 
or share and revel in your magic.
Or feel wonder at the natural images of your flow,
amazing are the silhouettes of your soul,  you Know.
Visible to you is the beauty inside, 
captured with a click by your minds eye.
You're like a bubble on the wind floating by, 
uplifting, a blessing I count everyday 
I thank you for showing me the way.

someone I grew up with, a keen photographer who I'd not seen for years. Serendipitously he appeared and was a great source of strength at a difficult time.

Fate has a way of throwing us the odd much needed favour from time to time. This write shows the true beauty of friendship wonderfully. Where would we be without it?

. oh, i remember this magical piece, dear victoria ... some connections in life are incredibly special and precious ... and many people don't get that ... they just don't realize that any two human beings could share a beautiful equation ...
