[bodytext] => what is a friend? my thoughts. . . it is one with whom you dare to be yourself. your soul, naked before him he seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. he does not want you to be better or worse. when you are together you feel as a prisoner who has been declared innocent . . . set free. . . you don't have to be on your guard. you can say what you think or feel so long as it is genuinely you. he understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. with him, you breath freely. you can avow your little vanities & envies & vicious sparks your meanness & absurdities & in opening them up to him they are lost dissolved. . . into the white ocean of his loyalty you do not have to be careful. neglect him. . . tolerate him. . . best of all, to be still with him it matters not he likes you - he is like fire purges to the bone he understands. . . understanding you can weep with him sin with him laugh with him pray with him through it all & underneath he sees. . . knows. . . loves you a friend. . . what is a friend? one just one, I repeat with whom you dare to be yourself [comments] => 6 [counter] => 381 [topic] => 16 [informant] => elle [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => FriendshipPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
