Peace

Like water,
you flow through my fingers,
and run over me like a balm to my soul.

You are like an oasis,
in a dessert,
like a cold drink on a hot sunny day.

Refreshing,
and calming,
with a cooling effect.

You are strong when I am weak,
and funny
when I am morbid.

You are smooth when I am prickly,
and sweet,
when I am bitter.

Your words are reassuring,
you say what I need to hear,
somehow you just know.

You don't flinch
by the things I say,
no matter how upsetting they may be.

You are positive when I am negative,
white when I am black,
day when I am night.

Confident, when I am shaky,
sure when I am doubtful,
and all this with a smile.

You know what it means
to be a friend
and for that I am forever grateful.
