The Friend Within

I take solace

In knowing you are always there.

Life creates waves ten feet high

That come crashing down on our spirit,

Daily, from all sides.

And when there is no more fight to give

And there is no more sense to make

I smile and let go

And you reappear,

Awakening from your inner citadel

My higher consciousness

Unbothered by the theatrics of life,

Or the collapsing waves of the sea;

Problems were abound, just a moment ago

But now in your presence

There is only sweet sound

And no trouble to be found

And so I take solace

In knowing you are always there;

You dissipate the waves before my very eyes

And create sunshine, in the blink of an eye.
