Compassionate Friend
Oh dear compassionate friend!
Who has lifted me over the rocks and mountains of my own making
Who ever present in trust
Banished lesser captives
Unlocked, freeing even the most dangerous of specters
Went forth
Let beasts out of the cage
With gentle hands
Crafted them, unfinished out of clay
Teasing them from nothing into something
You left diamonds dancing in the eyes
And waves that wanted to destroy
To crash and take
Whole villages where left barren & departed
To thrive, they had to go elsewhere
There was nothing left to live off
A journey was begun
But without you
Stillness would have become
A lifeless pond
A cesspit
A gutter
The unwanted birth of bitter twins
Decay and demise
