Friendship Poem by Daniel Brick

Friendship



I sought a friendship with the wind.
I merely stood at the center of a circle
I imagined into being. I slowly rotated,
bowing briefly to each of the Four Directions.
At first, I felt only that heavy emptiness
within that makes you choke on your own breath.
I saw, in a suspended moment, a dry, brittle
bush wave in the air, its green swiftly returned
to leaves and branches, and it flourished before me:
I knew what Wordsworth had tried to teach me in verse
now revealed in the humble bush's renewal, that Nature's
soul overspreads time and place. Immediately I felt
a soft breeze touch my face and cover my body
with lilac scent. The wind had answered my summons.
She had witnessed my renewal and displayed her
welcoming "Yes" to our friendship in touch and
truth. Henceforth, we travel the earth as one being.

A great poem about friendship- -our closeness to nature and how we travel with nature as one being.Let me quote from this wonderful poem- - " Immediately I felt a soft breeze touch my face and cover my body with lilac scent. The wind had answered my summons. She had witnessed my renewal and displayed her welcoming " Yes" to our friendship in touch and truth. Henceforth, we travel the earth as one being."

Mystery of time absorbs day by day and time to time every change comes and it is also absorbed. Merely standing at the circle we can see and judge upon life. Friendship is precious and this has gentle touch and kind touch for all of us. Soft breeze motivates mind. A nice poem is beautifully penned and this is an excellent poem on friendship.
