Her Name is Friend

Her Name Is "Friend"

Her name is friend.
Such a simple name.
There is no mystery in that name,
nothing suggestive of the extraordinary.
But it is HER name.
So it is the most amazing name.

Her name is friend.
What power does she possess,
What ability does she control
that causes me to seek her name
in hushed tones of wonder?
It is the most amazing power.

Her name is friend.
Who is she this friend
that she can kiss my lips
and breathe into my very soul
life itself, pure, clean vibrant life?
It is the most amazing kiss.

Her name is friend.
I speak her name
and my voice becomes an orchestra,
and music plays in my ears.
I weep at this song of the angels.
It is the most amazing sound.

Her name is friend.
She presses herself against me,
taking my brokeness and making me whole.
completing me with herself.
She has become my healer.
It is the most amazing wholeness.

Her name is friend.
She says I love you,
and it is as though a new color
is painted across the world,
rich and bold and gloriously beautiful.
It is the most amazing phrase.

Her name is friend.
She fills me with her love,
never lets me forget her love,
surrounds me and infuses me with her love,
and I respond with pure love.
It is the most amazing love.

Her name is friend.
And I love her, all she is.
I live at her word,
and die at her pain,
and soar at her invitation.
It is the most amazing name.
