A Saint Among Us

By birksy

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

While I wait, the knots start to form, it’s been a while, though in truth, not long. She’s a strong lass, a real saint in-between us all, she gives me the time I need. And when the space is in front, she’s sat behind the rocks, holding fast holding strong. Friendships, not really good at those, but I like to try, let me be a friend. Then she’s back, my friend from afar, she’s a girl who’d open all our eyes. Written January 17th, 2002 © on Jan 17 2002 12:45 AM PST, Simon Birks   0 • 10
