Lost and Found

years
is what it's been
wanting
waiting
praying
hoping

lost friend

and it came
the sweet rain
that washed away
the cobwebs
of the past

revealing you

revealing something new
again
something wonderful
something whole

a gentle whisper
of the past
as it warms my heart
as it beats
to the tune
of the memories

of our friendship

I will not
be so quick
to let you fade
not this time
not ever again

my returned friend
