Hand of Your Soul

The truest friend can help us seek inside our souls....................

True friends can help us seek inside our souls
For that which is true
Retrace our steps looking into burning coals
Of blazing fires, we left a smoldering
When life went all-askew

They help us see beyond our looking glass
Under places where we hide
Deep scars and wounds of days gone past
From all those bitter tears
That never dried

A true friend can help us see a side of us
We may not wish to see
While holding our hand in gentle trust
Even when
We don’t agree

The truest friend is the one who appears
To help put those fires out cold
Binds your wounds and dries your tears
While holding the hand
Of your soul

wonderful poem of appreciation and recognization of the soul-deep elements of a true friend

[JohnEWordSlinger]

This is really precious, a very comfortable write, and true. This I imagine can bring tears as well, but in a good way. I love it, thank you, and much appreciated. WS

An outside perspective can really help us understand ourselves better... and who better then a loved one to give it to us. I whole heartedly agree with your insightful words.

shows some pretty deep friendship! I would't know much about it beacuse I'v never had something that deep. But it seems like a nice thought, a very nice thought indeed! good work!

Neva...this write is so beautifully simple, and simply beautiful. "...looking into burning coals/Of blazing fires, we left a-smouldering..." I'm going to put this one on my bookshelf, to be pulled down on a cold, dark night of the soul. thank you.

[Dream Weaver]

Friends are even sometimes more honest then family,
and if you have a good one hold on to them forever.
Very well done and from the heart!

Addendum: And sometimes you fight yell and scream at each other because at the time it makes more sense. Hahaha Sorry about that, anyways on to the topic at hand. This was a good piece definitely paints a vivid picture. Well done :)
