(Let me know if you find out who my "best friend" is!) :)
Essential to life
My best friend’s brain that is
To me, it’s as transparent as
could be
It leaks wisdom
That drenches the thirsty concrete
of my home
With unconditional attention
It’s filled with comforting
words that rush
Swiftly down her flickering mouth
Splashing my frown with a drop
of hope
It overflows with sympathy
As she outspreads her hands to
offer a
Refreshing embrace
It’s enrobed with laughter
As her lips crease aloft
Washing away my gloom
Pouring tiny dribs of clarity
Down the dry lanes
Of my polluted domain
It’s not a commodity that can be
Trapped in a vain bottle
It’s a human right
For all the young and old
For every animal and plant
It’s a prudent resource
That nourishes
But is never nourished back –
Essential to life
My best friend’s brain that is
To me, it’s as transparent as
could be.
