Always There

just missing and thinking of friends late one night after working the midnight shift

No matter where I am

          You are always with me ~ watching over me.

     All I have to do is glance over my shoulder

                And there you are

                      Shining bright -- always smilin'

           through the darkness of the night sky.

No matter where I am

      Or whatever mood I may be in --- you're there.

You're there on those beautiful nights

          And you add to the beauty.

     On those cloudy nights

                    You peep through and say hello

          And that makes me smile.

     On those really cloudy nights

              When no power could fight through the

     Barrier of clouds...

            There is on power that can~~

        Friendship...

All I have to do is remember you are up there

                    above the storm.

Remember that you are with me

         On those clear

      And cloudy nights -- always shining bright.

You fill me up;

     you make me whole

           you're my candle guiding me out of darkness.

                     Ti Amo La Luna

Very human touch to this gentle evocation of friendship. It is as if friends become part of our lives. And can always be with us as you describe. And I think that is true. Maybe a friendship beats love in some ways and can endure long after many a passion has burnt out. Friendship is such a basic human need and a good friend is a real treasure. A wise poem about how we are enriched by others and by implication can enrich others by ourselves being loyal friends. It doesn't take much. For some I suppose the friend could be Christ, which would be a good way to view him I think, with all the religious stuff removed.

Yes there is this amazing feeling of happiness and truth when you step out into the night air, you can't help but smile, see the world and know there are people out there who care and whom tomorrow you will probably see, but even when they are not there can hold silent conversations. Friendship is such an amazing thing, and as shown in your peom, is always there. It is certainly a strong force, this connection between human beings that is almost unexpalainable, but your peom shows it wonderfully.
fantastic write, I loved it.
well done.

I love the moon. The moon loves me. It wasn't really 'love' was it?

Lovely poem.
