When least expected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I sit here so silent
Reflecting on past old days
Reliving every moment
I am nothing but amazed

Times, I stood in aloneness
Faith and hope, light years away
Each step leading to darkness
Unable to see my way

Until...

With pain again colliding
Loosing face and dignity
On the edge of death, falling
I cried, pleading for mercy

So, about my life I went
Short of all expectations
Each instant now being spent
On breaking isolation

"Ask and you shall received"...
Many times heard, now applied
Could not say if I believed
Guessed it would not hurt to try

Time passed, little did happen
Until from distant land
Came close all of a sudden
A heart so pure and content

This precious soul gently spoke
Of strength, wisdom and beauty
With such tenderness evoked
That these resided in me

This heart did mirror to me
What I had buried so deep
This man made me feel and see
The better parts of me

Blessed I am, he crossed my way!
Even today when I'm blue
He is just a breath away
Holding me in love so true!

So, as I sit here silent
Grateful for my sweet blessing
I see truth in this saying:
"Best things come when least expected."

Dear Sylvie,

This applies to your poem.
Reading your poem is the best thing that happened to me today, and it was totally unexpected.

Thank you for coming to Givnology and sharing your beautiful words for Eric.

Thank you Teo for the beautiful images!

My dear Inda, I am honored the poem was the best thing that happened to you today. The image you choose to put in your post is great.
The great white wolf
could represent Eric, the Wise friend, and the black one, me, leaning on him... hahahaha.

Oh this makes me think about the song "Lean on me"...great song by the way!

Love,
Sylvie
