National Poetry Month: Friendship (18 of 30)

It's National Poetry Month. I will be posting a poem each day. No theme. I'm just going to follow the spark each day, wherever I might find it. It's bound to be messy. 

Emily P. Freeman's podcast, The Next Right Thing, has become one of my favorites. This week she shared a blessing about friendship. I hope you'll stop over and listen to it. It had such beautiful words that I thought it might make a good found poem. 

Friendship

Friendship:

    abundance,

        gift.

ebbs and flows,

    breathes,

like water falling

    from the sky.

JOY.

respite.

steady.

strong.

connection.

comfort.

presence.

the generosity of water,

    the steadiness of trees,

        the harmony of starlings.

Friendship. 

A found poem from A Blessing for Friendship, written by Emily P. Freeman at the Next Right Thing.
