Bossoming of Our Friendship

In the gentle unfolding of shared moments,
A delicate blossom emerges,
A bond nurtured with care.
Through whispered confidences, like a soothing rain,
We nourish each other’s hearts
And find solace from life’s inevitable pains.

With each interaction, we weave a tapestry of understanding,
Each thread a testament to the truths we’ve uncovered together.
Through moments of doubt and darkness,
As well as days bathed in sunlight,
We navigate the intricate labyrinth of human connection,
Learning to decipher its subtle, often hidden language.

In the silent communion of our eyes,
We convey a depth of knowing
That transcends mere words.
A shared glance, a synchronized heartbeat,
The echoing laughter that fills the air –
These are the hallmarks of a true empathetic bond.

As our friendship deepens,
The barriers that once separated us
Gradually dissolve,
Allowing for a greater intimacy and vulnerability.
We come to cherish each other’s imperfections,
Recognizing them as an integral part of who we are.
In this acceptance, we find a reflection of our own hearts.

Within the sanctuary of our connection,
There is no need for pretense or guardedness.
We create a space where our souls can find solace and understanding.
Here, we can be our authentic selves,
Knowing that we are met with compassion and acceptance.

True beauty lies in the depths of understanding,
In the unspoken secrets that our spirits hold.
With a gentle touch and an open heart,
We embrace the blossoming of our friendship,
Finding solace in the profound connection we share.

As time goes on, we weather life’s storms together,
Our bond strengthening with each challenge we overcome.
Through joy and sorrow, celebration and loss,
We remain steadfast,
A constant source of support and encouragement for one another.

In the twilight years, we look back
On a lifetime of shared experiences,
Our hearts filled with gratitude for the gift of our friendship.
And as the sun sets on our journey,
We find peace in the knowledge
That our bond will endure,
Transcending the boundaries of time and space.

Poetry Prompt Wednesday

Write a poem about a memory that is important to you.

Writing

I am writing the last book in my series The Shadow Realm Chronicles and I got so excited over one chapter that I wrote this poem. I am so excited for people to read this and see this world I created.

The thrill of the blank page,
A canvas unmarred,
A world of possibilities
Awaiting my pen.

The spark of an idea,
A spark that ignites
A firestorm of creativity
That rages within.

The words flow like water,
The thoughts flow like wine,
And I am lost in the moment,
In the flow of the rhyme.

Time stands still as I write,
The world fades away,
And I am transported to another place,
Another time.

I am the author of my own story,
The creator of my own world,
And I am filled with excitement
At the possibilities.

Poetry Prompt

I miss you, friends, across the miles,
I miss your laughter, smiles, your tales.
I miss our talks, our games, our fun,
I miss the way we used to run.

I miss the way you made me smile,
I miss the way you made me feel.
I miss the way you always knew
How to make me laugh and do.

I miss you when I'm all alone,
I miss you when I'm feeling down.
I miss you all the time, you know,
I miss you more than words can show.

Slow Down, Close Your Eyes

 When your mind is cloudy,
When your head wants to rest,
And all you can do is worry,
About all the things that are a mess. 

The work you need to do.
The places you need to go.
But your mind needs to rest.
Your head needs a pillow 
And you need to stop.

Slow down, close your eyes.
Take a breath, it’s okay to stop.
Slow down, close your eyes.
Take a breath, it’s okay to stop.

Feeling guilty  
When I rest my head.
When I need more sleep.
When I can’t go on, I need to rest.
 
Slow down, close your eyes.
Take a breath, it’s okay to stop.
