Friend - A single Soul Dwelling
Within Two Separate bodies
..................................Aristotle 384-322 B.C.
Did the crucifixion…ever cross his mind
As those eloquent words…poured out
Could the love …which Judas...displayed..to Christ
…Be the friendship …he wrote…about
Were his thoughts…of the “Shipp”…lost and adrift
…Somewhere…on the sea…of deceit
The man…on the stand…the tale of betrayal
…Of whom…did the philosopher…speak
Was the white Bronco…we saw…on the road…one day
…Perhaps....the vehicle....which friendship drove
During…the dream…the philosopher…dreamt
…When…that poignant verse…he wove
Of two…distinct and separate…bodies
…Where…A single soul…dwells within
Might Aristotle’s wisdom…be some…sacred vision
…Through which…God…defined…A friend

…Should ever…”my friend”…be troubled
Shoulders bent...from the load....they tote
May there…be the friend…to comfort…that friend
…Of such...as the philosopher........wrote
Wisdom penned lyrically, poetically and compassionately. Aristotle's quotation is inspiring. Your poem is worthy of his inspiration. Superb. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Thanks for sharing your poems with me. You are a very good writer, I have never had schooling in writing every thing that I have tried to write has been an event that has happen in my life or feeling and thoughts and I just write what I'm feeling or felt. Keep up the good work and may God's blessings be on you and yours
liked your poem very much.. no human can even hope to match the kind of friendship and love that Christ gave us..
Aristotle’s wisdom indeed with your wisdom dissecting it with thoughts to make the poem great for the reader. originality always shines...well done regards
I love this James.... I'll bet OJ could use a friend right now....... he sorta went through all of his!
