A Poem about Friendship: A Friend is a moment and a friendship is many moments ~ Carl Meadows
A Moment with You
A friend is a moment in time, the one directly staring at you
Lost in being needed; the ache of wondering
You pulled me to the edge with our fingers locked; the chasm was steep
Fear of falling left me weightless, but you were there
The truth was somewhere, beyond the vast landscape of my thoughts
Searching for signs of permanence would be futile
Courage pulled me forward; I wanted to trust I wouldn’t fall
Pounding heart, swirling mind, I began to drift
Was cavernous space and distance my life lesson to master?
Fear of closeness my nemesis
The memory of belonging to something, disappeared a lifetime ago
Comfort came in images shaped by prairie clouds, mesmerized with ephemeral visions of realness
Standing on the edge, a truth emerged
There was never a “you”; we only ever had a moment and it touched me
