• FRIENDLY REVELATIONS
    by UC Poika


    You were the friend I had been looking for
    As nearly every day I watched for change
    In hopes the slightest difference might cause you
    To be manifested like a burning torch
    That appears as from behind some interchanged
    Or rearranging barrier to truth,
    Some veritable yard light shining through the woods
    That calls me back from being lost for good,
    From searching for the switch beside the dash,
    Or the closet for the coat without a lamp
    To light the wall where hangs the puppy’s leash,
    Or the clutter for “I Love You” postage stamps;
    You are the day that dawns the night away,
    You are the one that helps me find myself always.
