EVIDENCE OF LIGHT ~ 32

    With friends like you

    who know
    you know
    that many hands
    make light work
    that light hides
    until it is needed
    that there is wisdom
    in the pit of darkness
    I know
    that I am never alone
    that you are here beside me
    and have always been
    a part of my present
    you are what helps to integrate me
    with all of my contradictions
    you are integral
    when I am down
    you are
    the wind that fills my aspirations
    we are
    never alone
    because we
    believe in people
    and that people
    make the change
    when we are ready
    we can
    yes we can

      thank you for this image and for your resonant poem..
      thank you so much for reminding that light hides until it is needed..

      and thank you for the poem you gave to me and to everyone who saw it on an image recently.. an image to which you came as if you heard a cry from the dark..
      (and yes you did.)

      thank You for Being evidence of Light *

      Beautiful, sir. To me that fence is
      shadow people
      arms linked
      and walking a path
      together.

      Shadow enigma -- reality starts somewhere.

      Poetry is a little like baking
      All the right words
      Ingredients mixed in proper time
      With heat, hot enought to make a difference...

      You make a difference in your cooking, BIRD!
