The search of a friend
Such was the day
I scribbled a college address on a paper
placed it in my purse, it might be a way!

Each time I come here I look a different place
I wandered to the beach our twenty years or so ago
I pondered the journey ahead, would I find him
The smell of the sea, Gods hug from a wind would blow

Near the waters edge I stayed
recalling his words to my mind to align
in sync with the wind I turned away from the ocean mist
to capture the what possibly was our Lords will of design.

A sea gull landed on my blanket, purse close by
The gull looking directly at me, lulling a song
Seem to capture the moment, and stop time in the midst
The sea gull open my purse pulled out the paper, then I knew all along

I could only sit in amazement, and tears filled my eyes.
I came this far to find him, could this possibly be real.
my heart skipped a beat, am I closer than I thought
In the worst scenario, my friend was all that I could feel.

This day of the sea gull was filled with magic
To the college library sifting through the yearbooks I would sit
Where in hope for a name and a photo of the friend I didn’t find
There were the words written in our conversation than seem to be the fit

Twenty years of forgotten time, but never forgotten words
The courage to look without all the clues, the yearbook to remind
Maybe all wasn’t lost in the adventure, more what it was suppose to mean
Maybe it wasn’t about losing a friend, but knowing what to find.

Today As I watch the sea gulls now as they fly overhead.
I often do remember that day
And wonder about the journey and the purpose
Was it a calamity of nostalgia, or did God have something to say?

nice poem, sadly enough sometimes the sadness is that were still here and they are heavenly. It seems so selfish, but so missed is the time from those that we love.

I ended up as a senior companion, lol I was way too nice today. Take care, be back later tonight...

TAB

nice expression

TAb

thanks and good night

maybe tomorrow.... or soon... I love flow of this poem and the power behind our hearts

TAB

I wonder who I might be tomorrow
Will she be happy or sad
Will the night bring pleasure or pain
There no telling in which the spirits arrive

Random passion for the moment of life
appreciate what is given for this time
A head up would often be nice
So I know when I awake, what color work best

Everyday is different, I begin to understand
Is isn't always I who has changed
but the very instant the day began
Good thing adaptability was a high point in my heart

Perhaps that one hidden quality
that will inspire a book, or a piece of art
I wonder about random passion
Who will I be tomorrow, open up the doors again
but do me a favor, please knock and allow me the
choice to let you in.

TAB 07/18/08 night everyone

Hope is in creation
the true ideal destination
inscribed in each pending thought
intrinsically and eternally sought
