A Silent Friend
It isn't everyone
who has a silent friend
a friend
who doesn't say a word
but just listens.
When I found him
in the bark of that old tree
I knew that we would be
the best of pals.
Lately I've had the need
to share my grief with him.
Sounds crazy, but must
a caring, listening, friend
be Real to heal
a broken heart?

My friend is wearing a hat,
a camouflage jacket,
orange pants, and black shoes.

I see him! Very touching poem too. Sometimes a silent friend is the best kind. :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy this blog. I guess that makes me a pareidoliac.
Thanks for your visit to my blog and the poem. I love it! Been a long time since I inspired a poem. You made me smile too. :)
Hi Sharon. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteA discerning eye
and ability to see
outside the box makes
you a pareidoliac.
That you like my blog
and my poem
pleases me
greatly.
Cheers
Tammy-thanks for your visit.
Some of your altered photos
have very much impressed me.
Keep up the good work.

Thank you Doug for showing me how to see with a more discerning eye. I see the silent friend on the tree. Your blog is fascinating. I've become a pareiodoliac.
ReplyDeleteHip Hip! Another pareidoliac.
ReplyDeleteYes, It is truly amazing
what the conventional eye
does not see. Hope to see you
again soon.
