Unconditional Love
A message came from biggest fan
That says he misses me,
And hopes that everything’s alright
Or that it soon will be.
He’s looking forward to a word
Of news or poetry
A casual comment, or absurd,
Imagined fantasy.
By tone it’s clear that he is fine,
And needs nothing from me,
But knowledge that his friend’s aware
Of dreams that yet could be.
Accepting of my joy and pain,
The visions that I see,
His judgments never do congeal
Or drive me up a tree.
A presence that is always real
And not just scenery,
A friend who’s not afraid to walk
In faith upon the sea!
