Wisdom Among Us

The wisdom among us amazing
Profound insights into life's happenings
daily, frenzied dialogues over email
offering vastly alternate world views
a chance to walk in tighter shoes
and share salty tales of experience
Powerful prayers shot up both quickly and ponderously
beautiful, awe-inspiring words for each other
doling out comfort and companionship
teary pleas for angelic intervention
as well as grateful praises for joys received
Heart pounding laughing fits
at each other's and our own peculiarities
funny moments made funnier by sharing
stress busting, much needed giggles
ordinary events made legendary as tall tales are spun
Unique friendships new and old
at times strained and breezy, tired and carefree
other times challenging and uplifting, constructive and restful
the ebb and flow of lives intermingled
planning and expectant that our next encounter
will build more spectacular memories
and stretch us as people
to be even better
Friends
