This is a beautiful illustration from nature of how love and support work for the benefit of two. The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn. Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which parts of two different trees, commonly but not exclusively the same species, grow together, self-grafting...

It is just a snowflake they tell me. But to me, he is everything. He is my start and my beginning, my alpha and omega, my exodus and my stage left standing ovation. No, I know it doesn’t make sense to you. If you’re like everyone else, you think I’m delusional. You think I am nuts, unwell, crazy, whatever word you use that you think won’t hurt my feelings, or will make me look at my feelings and change my behavior. I have...

Gentle gazeAmazed -I seek your wisdom Your ways of thinkingI am drinking up your wondrous lightYet you sit silently bleedingIntent on believing -Your light has fadedLeft you jadedBut all I seeLooking at meIs a radiant ray of perpetual beauty  

In celebration of our camaraderie, I’d like to thank you for always been so friendly and supportive. You congratulate me on every achievement, and read my stories, offering free advice. I enjoy sharing this cozy space with you, my friend.

Looking at the blank page in front of her She realizes that she could fill it a million times over With all her thoughts and emotions Currently running through her veins. But what is it that she feels she really needs to say Is it thank you for the all the love and support? Or maybe that she’s sorry? No, its all that and more… You see as much as she is going to fight With all she believes and all the love she holds dear S...

Although we haven’t known each other longI enjoy curling up in your lapListening to you shareStories memories from your past. Each moment sharedLearning something newThat reveal precious detailsAbout the inner workings of your heart. The softly spoken words and gentle caressesAfter standing in the backgroundWatching you with othersIs not what you’d expect. Running my fingers across your cheekAs your eyes shine brightAnd y...

If I had the power to take the pain away from you, this is something that I so willingly would do;It'd be gone in just a moment with a single prayer filled thought;You'd finally find some peace and not be so distraught;I know I can't have my wish granted anytime today;So, I'll gently hold you in my heart as I bow my head and pray;Please keep in mind, my friend, that I'll be right here for you; No matter what the situation...

The age was just grey.Time had not really started.The meaning of life,had not been imparted.All days rolled in one.A never-ending strife.Through monotones, I'd created,My meaning of life.Each day I awoke,with a solitary goal.Survive until sleepand live through this hole.Some days I had plannedto aid with deaths calling.To just throw my handand watch the cards falling.But then our paths crossed.You showed me a light.A frie...

I feel that happiness is perhaps not meant for meContented, stable, smiling, satisfied, maybe thoseIt's meaning lost, I search but still can not seeLost in my reverie, to decide and define or to loseHappiness, sold to us, bought both lock and keyTouching, tangible, it's price marked down each dayFork over my heart to its tag or forget and be freeAnswers I seek in friends, family, anyone who comes my wayAsking again, who h...

I cried again today I do most days as I awake Questioning why I stay Tethered unhappily to life Tears and panic set in I struggle and thrash about Trying to quiet my mind I listen to the calming sound Your voice whispering the words Calming the inexplicable anxiety I feel I hear those names and feel safe Tears and shaking soon abate I remember why I wake Hearing the names of those I made I try to thank you again You shake...

When a friend is down It always makes me frown I offer her my shoulder I just want to hold her Wrap my arms around her Tell her she will be fine Eat chocolate ice cream to cheer her up Maybe have some wine Watch chic flics, maybe beaches? I'll be sure to bring the tissues So we can cry together And discuss our issues I would do all I can To make her laugh Tell the one who hurt her To kiss my arse Because she is my friend...

"You're married?" Susan exclaimed. I felt a hole where my stomach should have been. I saw the look of shock and horror across her face. Then a pained look took over her whole body. I broke out in a cold sweat. I couldn't imagine hurting this woman and I barely knew her.I nodded slowly."Why did you ask me out if you're married?" she asked through clenched teeth. The anger radiated from her in waves."Because you're one of t...

 I see you across the canyon, Unable to hold you tight. I can't help with your distress, Try as though I might. Feeling your hurt inside me, I reach out with my mind. Trying to make you hear me. Thoughts of ours in kind. I love you more than words, And how I hold you dear. It's only the distance between us. Soon I will be near. I know today's a rough one, Your struggle obvious, I yearn to take you in my arms, Make the pai...

Hush, my dear, don't say a word. I feel your pains that have occurred.Come close to me and rest your head,I'll hold you tight, scatter your dread. I know you so well; all your fears,Those you call flaws; I hold dear.Not weak at all, so strong and so smart,I love you so much with all my heart. Too often you feel scared and alone,Worried, uncertain, the future unknown.I'll always be here to hold your hand,Reminding you of o...
