Friends

Friends
by Iyawata

Friends open doors
To undiscovered
Parts of ourselves
Some doors
Burst free
Light-hearted
Laughter
Bring us
Shoulder to shoulder
Christening
Brothers or sisters

Others open wide
Dark caverns
Holding things
Avoided
Mirrors reflecting
Stinging truths
Of a Self

Disowned

Birthing
Gut wrenching
Wisdom

Pushing beyond
Expectations
Boundaries
Or limits
We find
Friends open doors
Friends open hearts
Raise us higher
Toward heaven
