Be not taciturn of this sisterly sojourn, for from it we learn. Donna J. Fennel
OUR FOREVER FRIENDSHIP ODYSSEY® Original, compassionate poetry for my best friend, Eleana.
Quilled on the 5th of January, 2004 ~ From a distant shore.
Revised by dawn's early light just for you on May 10, 2006.
My humble homage to my dear friend true, long overdue.
While whispering waves are lifted by somber shores ~
They cradle and caress shoulders of silvered sands.
Ah yes, when I watch you weep, my feelings pour ~
Across woeful wash of what I honestly understand.
O, I wish I could embrace you in my arms and soul ~
So that all of your anguish could melt into my chest.
As the Lord’s Love surrounds, to make you whole ~
And vortices of violent tempests will now come to rest.
Your eyes reveal compassion for those who are woeful ~
Velvety voice the whisper of forest glens and ocean swell.
The wondrous wish that is bestowed ‘pon the hopeful ~
The clatter of rare coins landing in empty wishing wells.
Your tears are raindrops resting ‘pon rarest ruby rose ~
The change that miraculously lands in a beggar’s hands.
A kind mind of sanctified secret, that no other knows ~
Your words yield truth concealed in every grain of sand.
Alas, no verse can e’er set all right, nor presence lend ~
A miracle to illuminate your darkest, decadent pathway.
Yet there lies solace and grace in such LOVING friend ~
And comfort from Heavenly Father, to whom we pray.
Look for yonder lighthouse, while in lair of despair ~
For its brimming beam beckons to soothe your heart.
It fosters hope and fresh start, while love we impart ~
From God and me just for thee, for you are in our care.
Our ocean of devotion is always open for you, my dear ~
Your rocky shore shall exist no more, nor your tempests.
For there is none more grand, once you take God’s hand ~
When you leave your fair island, to receive His loving best.
Ah, once pain and sorrow is erased from your lovely face ~
I shall pray to Jesus for further grace from His holy place.
For just when you honestly believe in yourself not to grieve ~
I am here for you all the while, helping you learn to smile.
Waves of regret whisper woefully that we may not overcome ~
Each of life’s challenges seems unconquerable, yet have no fear.
So long as we are together in our hearts, tho we not be near ~
Our love and loyalty surpasses all obstacles that foster tears.
Tho hour has arrived when distance strains our hearts apart ~
Know precious friend, that this mortal boundary has NO end.
Your face of grace and our memories reside forever in my heart ~
You are my very BEST friend, and our circle of life has NO end.
Eleana, know that I love you dearly, which my poem cannot express nearly.
"There exists a realm in the astral plane ~
Where soft night is born, and sunset dies.
Farthest shores see faint tides fade away ~
Mortal utopia of laughter, tears and sighs."
