The Power of A Friend

It was an accident I ended up here

I was looking to be nowhere

And nowhere I wanted to be found

A chameleon answered me

And fired sparks of "maybe"

Perhaps I do want to be here

 

Fiery eyes directed to my soul

Haunting, inviting, simple, piercing

A hope that would not let me go

Beacon to a wayward cat

See the healing work flood in

I am anew! Shall we begin again?

Friends are the best accident of all!  You never know when or where you'll find one.  :^)

copper cat, this is an incredible piece of poetry that reveals - no longer conceals.  Yes, there is hope and with that comes healing.  Thank you for this......

Your words almost fly off the screen they are so alive...I almost see the time in space where they exist. Truly exhilirating! Cheryl

Your poem is a beacon to a wayward black cat!

Thanks for the kind comments about my Blog background - it's a close up of a Friendly Plastic Brooch I made earlier this year.

Meow,

Anne

This is beautiful - I love it.

I especially love how the artwork was originally created to go with a dark piece written by Bobby (in the Collaboration Station forum) and you have re-interpreted it with such a message of hope.

Beautifully realized poem of hope and the miracle that friendship so often is.
