True friends

You said you loved me

But if there was an emptiness

Still lingering here

Whose task was it truly

To fill?

There is a force of grace

That bestows a rain shower

Upon the parched part of our soul

That longs to see and know

The ways of heaven

Having burned its love into non existance

Treading over this tangled path of stones

There is a love that wants to rise

After all of the fires

Have burned our illusions to ash

I trust now that love is found

Underneath the healing canopy

Of the tree I love so well

Deep within even this well of sorrow

That arises

It is no surprise to me

Now

That all of this love

Surrounds me

I no longer ache for you

To love me

So maybe now you and I can

Finally be

True friends.
