Friendship

Patient listening
Absorbing my affliction:
Unspooling. 

Affirming words
Spoken with conviction:
Needle threading. 

Unwavering concern
Overflowing with affection:
Knotting the end. 

Personal struggles
Offered as connection:
Piercing through scar tissue. 

Unconditional embrace
Free of intuition:
Stitches weaving in and out. 

Luminescent empathy
Reaching its fruition:
Excess strands are tied and cut. 

My heart is sewn back together.
