Dancing Bear
for a friend
Both sprung from life, we’d draw and giggle,
observing all that was and could be.
Our beings in tune,
knowing each other through a long line of relation.
Setting foot on the same planet once again,
souls cheering when catching a glimpse of the other.
And waving, as if waving to oneself in the mirror —
reflecting in the richness of love.
Your presence like a bear,
as if a loving protective smile has been drawn across your lifeline.
Coloring your every interaction,
caring for everybody's burdened mind.
Dancing like an untamed child, through crowds and empty spaces,
as the taste of joy could never be lost on you,
for your heart is too big a home for its every whisper.
How tender a human being you are.
Trying to stretch my arms to reach across the oceans.
Missing you today my darling friend.
