When darkness comes as our night
a friend brings an easel
to paint the hues upon our heart,
cerulean tints in serenity,
understanding’s warm citrus strokes,
care’s emerald stains that bath our mind hopes.
Claret streaks that inspire us to believe in ourselves,
lavender shades the make us feel like a rare flower,
ivory’s pure and special glow
so we know that in one person’s eyes
we will never be other than perfect and unique.
They all arch across our souls
as a friend’s bridge of light,
guiding us to the place
where we feel so utterly embraced.
Saying in words a canvas from there loyalty’s artistry,
until we can see only possibilities
among the graying dawns.
During those moments when our lives
become a prism of bright emotions,
how they beam upon our face,
shining in smiles.
Feeling so radiant in the company of one
who we see as our family
always beaming from the silver
of love’s starry presence
in our night.
