FRIENDSHIP

As I sit here ruminating by my window,
thoughts of present, past, and future whirl about the air. I vainly grasp
at them, these fleeting wispy ghosts, but to no avail. They evaporate
into a gray sea only to be carried away upon its never-ending tide.
Some, however, taunt me as if wild grapes were hung just within reach of my eager hands.
At some, my ship thrashes about like a fox
ensnared by steely gray jaws hidden in blades of emerald.
I cry but no one is there.
I am slowly drowning in this overwhelming flood
whose current sucks me into its abyss
to be carried into a place of eternal darkness.
I fall.
My body is weightless,
lifeless,
surrounded by the broken fragments of my ship whose sails have enveloped around me.
Through the veil a glimmer, whose bright multicolored cloak
dims everything in my mind except for its presence, pierces me.
The fog slowly disperses,
revealing a shimmering sun
extending its warming and resuscitating rays over
my face and body.
I open my eyes -
I see your face.
