Friends
by Richard VinceAm I seeking a way in or
A way out? My world became
Smaller than I realised while
I wasn’t looking; perhaps my
Real need is to expand beyond
The tiny box I built myself.
Friends moved on, or so it
Seemed: perhaps the reality
Is that I forgot how to talk
To them, even how to
Make them in the first place.
Big talk grows from small as
Receptive hearts open, but
I forget and try to sneak
Feelings that don’t fit,
Like a spring tide inundating
An unsuspecting shore.
I can count my friends, but
Can I count on them?
If I close my eyes and
Allow myself to fall back,
Will I find that there is
No one to catch me?

Real need is to expand beyond
The tiny box I built myself. |
