In friend’s safe presence
The mask begins to dissolve
Sun feels warm again

Warm sun and cool breeze:
happy-tears polish four eyes,
stars elusive found
(I’m so happy that you’re finding your stars, M.)
Wood floor to night sky
Plucking signal from my noise
Dear friend newly found
Clouds smothering stars
While lifting others to goals
Still my own fight
Hopeful for ourselves
We all strengthen each other
Magpies overhead
Trials overcome
Hidden cats watch with caution
Connections will fade
Cross ocean with fear
Find joy raising others up
Birds chirp in these lands too
Warm sun, distant lands
Sharing the path with others
Sadness in leaving
Brave foreign journey
Cool breeze over cobblestones
Bonds not how once seen
