Poetry: Friendship vs. love

Feather of Freedom

We said hello with a smile
Just a momentary glance
Nothing all that special
A meeting by chance

An instant connection
Like two destined friends
Little did I know
You'd be a means to an end

Broken and not breathing
A disabled bird
My feather of freedom
Not seen or heard

You picked me up without knowing
You set me free
You helped give my life back
You helped me find me

You came in as a stranger
And left the same way
I never got to tell you
I wanted you to stay

I'm once again searching
For something again
Not sure what I lost
To say the least a good friend

But no longer disabled
Now surviving the weather
Strong enough now to know
I need more than a feather

    when laughter,

    smiles, warm embraces

    We've been friends all through school...

    =BREATH OF HARMONY=

    In spirit words will fly
    through the air into the sky

    But the ones I feel so true
    are the ones
    that breath
