THE FRIEND


Let me
Be the hearth
Where you sit
To work your clay.
I'll not say
"Shape it like this,
Or like that",
I promise.

Let me watch
As you
In absolute agency
Mold your
Mortal dream.

Only -
Sit close
And let me give
A little light,
A little warmth.
Yes -
Warmth especially.

Cold clay yields
To no form.
Let me
Be your hearth.
Sit close -
Be warm.

-  Carol Lynn Pearson
