Deep and Wide

My Life in Poetry

My friend thank you for caring....
You make my days much brighter.
Is it the newness....
Or, will it subside with time?
Thanks for today and whatever is given....
For tomorrow it might just end.
My thoughts of you range deep and wide...
I sense a grief held deep inside.
I want to climb into that space...
to find a way to bring it out....
to help you try and work it out.
I know so little of the real you.....
your life is vague from my focal point.
The tenderness you show to others shocks me into wondering.....
who are you.....
what's hidden deep inside?
If time and space were mine to rule....
I'd never leave this place with you.
We'd spend our evenings alone in talk....
and share our days in peaceful endeavors.
God gives us all free will so dear friend....
Trust in me....
Share your thoughts...
of hope or fear.
We just might make each others loads much lighter...
Make each others lives much brighter.
