FRIENDS

   A few nights ago, I had the pleasure of having a round table dinner with 9 powerful, intriguing, and beautiful woman. One can never underestimate the power of a friend. In the simplicity of a 50 word poem--I think of a friend equaling the bond of iron. Changeable when heated and beautiful when cared for and an element in our blood that allows oxygen to heal and give energy. The strength of that kind friendship should be trusted on a soul level. May each of you have a friend as strong as iron. I know I have been blessed.


FRIENDS

Our connection,
like the nature of iron,
bends and molds and
conforms in heat;
steel tendrils curl
sturdy and steady
from a cold
reserved place.

A crimson gate interlaces
our hearts
in shelter,
blending and defining
the boundaries of
luminal breath,
wrought in the burn
of flesh and truth.
