Okay…this poem is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO lame as I didn’t have much time to do it. But I hope you all feel a bit special because of it. I just love you all so much.
The Strangers That Became My Friends
There was a time when I was lonely – starved
For friends, for love, for support.
Words were scrambled in my brain,
Fumbling, falling inside the depth of my person.
Then there was Rita, the one who saved my thoughts from destruction.
Her intelligence and creativity guided me through
The process, the chance to formulate my internal struggle.
I met Blogger and began to compose
My new persona, my opportunity to turn my life
Into something more interesting.
Joe CuttheShit was born.
The long, introspective trip began.
Along the way, Joe has been blessed by many,
Those looking to offer support, encouragement, love.
Shocked and in awe of the power of words,
Joe moved forward – deeply touched and affected.
Altered for the better.
The characters he has met along the way -
There is Indigo:
So little and cute and sentimentally sweet,
Calm and collected and truthfully adorned
There was Bonaroo and London and stories
Of the past. Moments that have made him
The stud he is today.
There is Wendy:
The most beautiful creature on the planet,
Delicate, spontaneous, bursting with life,
Filled with sincerity and kindness and moments
Of insanity, moments that change her into a smarter,
More fulfilled human being.
There is Lux:
The girl I never knew, but always knew.
We share so much in common that starting our
First stage of love has been easy, based on trust.
The future is bright and surely holds much for Lux.
There is Julia:
The woman that makes me laugh, makes
Me smile. Makes me happy. Makes me relieved
That I started this journal. If it weren’t for her and Chesa,
I would be dead inside.
There is Drowning Fish:
The most captivating and honest journaler I know.
Her stories move me to laughter and tears. There is
Simplicity to her truth. There is honesty behind her every
Emotion. She is an inspiration.
And then there is Rose:
A Pagan, a daughter of craziness, and one of the
Most powerful people to ever sit at a computer.
She is compelling, bold, and full of challenge. She
Is the one you want on your side. She is the one you want
Next to you in the time of battle.
The pride and love I have for these six people
Cause me to burst with happiness and joy.
They have made me who I am.
They have instilled strength and courage
When it once was lost.
And for all of this,
I am grateful.
