My new found delight in poetry is proving that subject matter is limitless, with new ideas constantly eager to be written. Friendship was the inspiration for this poem. At first I thought it would be light and airy, but it morphed into something deeper and took me by surprise, yet again.

Memories bite and sting
Resurrected fears
Crowd my mind

Thoughts of you
Stir wondrously
Suggesting hope is alive

From that land so distant
I dreamily imagine
Shining eyes on me

Gentle in their focus
Generous eyes, your eyes
Dispelling my dark fears
