I wonder if great friendships understand
The wonder of shared love
Light shining in darkness
My restless search to quench loneliness
The dark recesses of my uncertainty
Belonging confused by my aching soul,
My home found in
the mystery of shared love,
Holding it out to be tasted by others
Salty with tears
A love that will lay down and die
for the other person
Who know there’s nothing for me – but love
A friendship that realises
There is no where else to go – even when its tough,
Really tough going,
When the question is asked, “Will you leave me?”
And, the response is, to stay,
Our world’s relentless search for greatness
Is right beside me – my neighbour, my wife, my child,
Is with me now – waiting to be a friend,
It’s the rustle in the heavens,
Fidgeting till he bursts through to declare love,
This is my love, my beloved
Love shared, loyal to the death,
Here, right now – waiting for greatness.
