My Friend or(what computers are really good for)

Less than a prayer
More than a message in a bottle,
Less than a miracle
More immediate than God.

You collect my scraps of pain
And give me advice you know I won't follow.
And cry along with me when our wounds match
And let me scream at the darkness unjudged.

As I shiver through the ice and snow
And fragments of love for a woman I know
You sit in the darkness of a greener place
And I can hear your smile in this cold lonely place,
My friend.

Your poetry touches me at a soul level. I do not respond too often to what you write because the wounds are too painful to touch.
