A coin on a meaningless journey. So close yet so far. Purpose has faded. So has a heart. February 1, 2008 7:12 PM She Sat On The Porch ....
letting the warm breezes of a summer evening flow over her sun baked mind. "There has to be a reason I'm here." She thought. Her life had been one of friends coming and going. And once gone .... they never seemed to return. She looked to the stars .... to find an answer. It was slow to come. Thoughts rolled .... memories of times past. Laughs and good times .... the anticipation of sharing .... A lightening bug flew past slowly right then. Not in any hurry to get where he needed to be. "Are you lonely too?" she asked. He flashed ..... circled and returned as if to say yes. She held out her hand ..... he landed. No words were spoken ..... silence was shared ..... she just shed a tear as he lifted and flew off into the night with one last flash. "seems once they are gone .... they are gone." As she lifted her eyes back to the stars she realized she wasn't completely alone .... she had friends in the stars .... friends in nature .... and most importantly she realized that what friends she had was all that she needed .... to have purpose. Peace. J.
