A reflection
A mirrored image
Sometimes distorted
Sometimes true
I reflect fondly
On months gone by
Where two dozen people
Became united
Woven together
Like an ancient tapestry
I am led to ponder
How life would have been
Without the rich colours
These special people brought
To my dull life
The colour of Aqua
For calming ocean waves
Golds and browns for the earth
Purple for imagination
Orange for strength and courage
Shown on a testing journey
Primrose and daffodil
For the fragrance of friendship
Ebony as bright as the night sky
For the moments of despair
For even despair can be beautiful
When there are people who stand by you...
