We all have them

people that walk into our lives for a brief moment, a glimpse, a second.... Ones that you would like to stay, ones you have missed beyond measure, ones that are so entrapped in either their own pain or traumatic experiences they walk blind... to the saftey of our harbors....



He walked from the mountain mist carrying not but his scared, ragged soul.
His face the same but for the hollowed gaze from his once bright eyes.

He could not speak of himself but longed for the comfort and trust of a friend
from days far in the past. He was offered the safety and warmth without question
or attachment.

A strong weathered hand rests upon his shoulder in an attempt to quiet and sooth his bruised heart. But the closeness spins the earth from under his heavy feet, he feels less than deserving, forced to march a path not of his own making.

Fleeing, rabid in his motion to leave this place, he leaves in his wake a friend with a heavy heart, hanging head and a sense of loss so great that even the strongest wind will never ebb the flow of sorrow…



for those of you that have such a friend or loved one, take a moment to send them your love through a prayer or just a wish for safety and love....
