Celebrating life

This poem is dedicated to friendship (in general) and my friends (in particular). If you read this poem, you would just know if I meant it for you. And if it is, trust me... I mean every word of it. A toast! Cheers! :)

The waves of my life are sweeping past

And the tempest echoes through my heart

The terror, the despair, the lonliness

were all wiped out with your mere presence.


Your worldly words I wisely weighed

I'm sure this does sound cliched

I faltered, I stumbled, I slip, I fell

You lived through me; experienced my hell.

And much later, when spring brought light

Life was bright with joy and delight

You were a prism for the light from heaven

splitting white into a colorful seven


You lifted me to the azure sky

Hence, though it rained, I was dry

Then I snuggled into a feathery cloud

In a state of bliss, I whistled aloud.


The birds flew, the wind blew

I was on top of the world

With the mist of joy, my head swirled.

For this heaven, I thank you


My friend, this poem is for you

who stood by me when I was pained

From you, there's a lot I've gained

Life is magical with a miracle like you.
