• I am walking down an old country road, the pavement as dry as the brittle
    summer grass. The sky, an abnormally bright blue, the sun a blinding
    orange. I am alone here on this road, I look to my right. Someone is there,
    I know not their name and cannot see their face. I can only feel their
    bittersweet energy. Someone who has loved me, who will love me, who will
    wait for me. To the left I see an empty field, how I long for you my
    friends. I love you, beautiful companions. I know that though I may be on
    this road alone, you are the fire within me, giving me permission to be
    strong. If I am to stumble and fall I know I can count on you, and you on
    me. I cannot say that I know what lies ahead, I can only say that I love
    you. True friends are the brightest gift from the gods, I am blinded by
    your beauty.
