nature, my greatest friend
you’ve been there by me from the endless beginnings to the never-end
we’ve been through many struggles
we’ve suffered together
we’ve entwined as lovers
love, my beautiful companion
you see in me the man I have forever been
you recognize in me the man when i’m not him
you breathe life into me when I am suffocating
we’ve smiled and laughed from somewhere magical
we’ve cried and been angry at life’s challenges
we’ve carried on and gave it all away
truth, my deepest essence
always there to show me the way
waiting at the birth of midnight, at the death of day
climbing upon my ladder
the ladder upon which I climb
the cushion I fall back on
the rocks that cascade a perfect armor
the only friends I need
for all other friendships to mean anything
yours,
alone and victorious
with great friends
