Friend
The eyes opened
As withered leaves were strewn on the forest floor,
Alone and sad.
As creepy as silence
Smothering the subtle heart with its fumes
Engulfed in dust.
Looking around,
In the swarm of bees that it was -
None appealed to its love.
Insecure, afraid -
None to free it of its nightmare
That is eternal.
Pangs of hunger
Coveting acceptance as it exists,
Who helps survive?
Who helps nurture?
Born in the lap of serenity
It's sole world.
Curious but restricted
How far can it see, distinct and beautiful?
Desperate to relate?
Yes, somewhere
A similar world has come into being;
A curious eye.
While zooming those,
For a moment those meet, awestruck
And know it all.
As serenity conjoins
The beating warmth of life,
Warmth is evolved.
Then him and her stay
And those become they, for life burgeons
As friends do meet.
