Life is relentless
friends bring the spotlight back on yourself.



Friends

i met my friends today
friends with whom
i share my venous system
i had not realised so
till today
maybe now i feel deeper
thats why
but its just not only me
the way they look
right through me
irrespective of what i say
they know what is to know
we shared our lifestories
just blurted them out rather
in a matter of fact way
after all there was so much catching up to do
i am sitting and feeling it all now
why i was so so overwhelmed yesterday
why do they matter so much
why it is so easy to just tell as it is
why when we hold
we hold harder
With them
all that is of value
is worth more.

Ah, I have the same experience! When I was 14 (in 1963), I began writing my diary. I kept that up for decades, all through those years when you get those lifelong friends, who "look right through" you! Two years ago I pulled those diaries out from a cupboard, and began recording what I once wrote. (I had kept it up through my time in the USA, and traveling to India, and getting kids, getting married and divorced and so on) It was a wonder, and psychotherapy! Now I have 153 CDs with those recordings. I discovered the boy who was me and who I am, and the young man I was, and who I am, and the middle-aged man I was and who I am. I got a second run, spending time with many who has since died, and others who I hardly see anymore, and some that I do see. Sometimes I pick out a month, a spring, summer or fall, or winter, and just sit, listening! Thanks for your poem, Sona!
