Although I enjoy poetry I do not have a lot of experience in writing poetry. As the rain was hitting the windows of my house and I was probing my most deepest thoughts, I remembered someone very dear to me who has provided comfort and strength to me in wading through the rocky waters of life. My Best Friend.

Serenity
by Dena Martin
As I look
Beyond the ripples of my reflections
To examine my inner self;
The ripples begin to fade . . .
As the reflection lays beside me
Grasping my hand,
The inner warmth shields me
And the vision of my reflection appears
I see you. My Friend.

    Just those few words got me instantly choked up. Friendship truly is a beautiful gift and this poem captures perfectly the profound connections that I feel with some of my closest friends.

    So compact, yet so full of meaning this poem is. It describes what I feel about a new friend with whom I am intimate, but we haven't shared commitment or the words "I love you."
  • Chrystal
    This poem is actually the best way to describe a true friend. IT opens up inside you and explains the un-explainable! I LOVE IT WITH A DEEP PASSION!
