Blessed am I

Blessed am I
For I have seen
That good friends are
Few and far between

I share such a friendship
With a special soul
It's a blessing I say
Daily, its beauty unfolds.

I wish only that all people
Should experience such a bond
Where friends remain true
Healing all woes with their magic wand.

I am honoured
To have had this chance
To live this friendship
To share this dance

Where each soul nurtures
The other's qualities
Soothing all worries
Setting it at ease.

This beautiful friendship
Has propelled me far
To heights I never imagined
I now sit amidst the stars

But I share this beauty
With my friend it is not mine alone
The secret behind where I am
Lies in the seeds of friendship which have been sown.

Every experience
Is a novel guide.
Today's experience was eye-opening
What a ride!

But it is a testament indeed
To what our friendship withstands
That when the odds strike hardest
We stand to face it with joint hands.

My happiness is yours to share
Just as your success is mine.
But the friend I have found in YOU
Words would be inadequate to define.

You know who you are. Thank you - for everything.

    Friendship like this exists in ones mind
    Selfish people are, you will surely find
    Enjoy this experience if you must,
    But never give them your full trust.

    You will be hurt, you shall be slain
    I tell you not this for any gain
    Be wary of, this friendship you are so proud
    Has not over your judgment been a cloud.

    Each of us has our own path,
    Thats the path we are meant to take,
    Par yeh dosti hamesha rahegi saath,
    This friendship will prosper for its own sake

    I cannot be selfish,
    Your happiness is all I seek
    Your friendship is what I will forever cherish,
    For which we'll define a new peak

    Below are the words to a poem I posted earlier this month called "The Dance" ... It's last three stanzas explain why one's life may be spent being skeptical over friendship or love, but this is not in the nature of the princesse.. for her true nature just beckons her to yield to loves call. Be that in true friendship or true love...

    http://mirrorormirage.blogspot.com/2005/05/dance.html

    The piercing light she had seen –
    Yes it was a ray of hope and a reason to smile
    But there were still tests to pass, seeds to sow
    For in her, there still resided an infant, a child.


    Should she lose the child in her heart?
    Wear the mask that all those around her do?
    Should she dye her petals a different colour?
    And wear a heart that doesn’t turn blue?


    It’s wrong. She may try but she can’t.
    She was born to love, born to give away.
    And so she’ll wait. And wait.
    Believing that she will at some point, see the light of day.

    I had read the earlier poem that you had posted.

    As had I understood what you feel the nature of princesse is.

    But everyone, in every friendship, has their own selfish reasons for being in that friendship.

    Its the cruel reality of life.

    It's true that life can be cruel.. It is also true that people can be inherently selfish and fake in their relationships these days.

    But that is why the princesse says, one may never be able to fight the inherent tendencies of those people who prefer to have relationships without meaning and for purely selfish reasons.

    But why should we let ourselves down and be the same? Or why should we therefore, make it a foregone conclusion that all our friends will be that way too?

    Princesse simply believes in remaining open to the reality, which entails both, evil and good. If there is evil, there is good. If there are friends who deceive and are selfish, there are friends who are genuine and selfless.

    I will not look away from the sun simply because I know that one day the rays of the sun will lead to the cycle of water evaporating into the atmosphere and this same water will one day fall upon me as rain. I will always look to the sun. Because even when it's raining, the sun never ceases to be there. It is there everyday.

    Similarly, those of my friends who I believe in, they may temporarily turn away or lose their focus, but they are nevertheless, always there.

    And that is a belief that cannot be shaken. For if it were, the very essence of the princesse's foundational belief in the beauty of relationships would be shaken.

    Attitude is power. And Power is control. Control over oneself means control over one's experiences. :)

    Somehow, I am not convinced.

    I don't believe selfless friendships exist in this day and age, as on some level, everyone wants something out of the friendship.

    Meaningful relationships just don't exist. People have become too superficial. I'm not a pessimist, but a realist.

    I don't look at everyone with doubt and contempt. Good people do exist, but people who really know how to be friends are a dying breed.

    Just be careful princesse, the sun that shows you the light, is the same sun that one day might burn you.

    I appreciate the truth in your statement. People who really known how to be friends are indeed a dying breed.

    But isn't it amazing that each of us in life have at least had the blessing of one very good friend?

    I admit that most of the people we come into contact with in life are perhaps not worth remembering. But at least each of us has a handful of names perhaps that we would surely remember?

    It's these people that I believe in. People who know how to be friends may be a dying breed. But good people are still very much living. And if they become skeptics, then only fewer of the 'good friends' breed will remain.

    I don't want to be one of the skeptics. I want to be one of the few. I'm hoping that by me taking the'risk' that I may be burned will only mean that I get to rub my attitude off on realists like you! :)

    I'm a realist too, but I do wear the optimist's lenses. Everything just looks better that way!... And slowly, it gets better, until it IS better... and where there is better, there is best :).

    Good people are no doubt very much living. I exist, do i not? But even good people, in this day and age, seem to have lost their way. They have lost themselves. In their heart and soul, they know what they should do, however, they do something else.

    Good people are not the dying breed. It is the people who listen to their heart and soul, their inner voice, it is those people who are the dying breed.

    You should realise princesse, that good people, more often than not, ignore their inner voice, and will do the wrong thing. And this is what shall burn you.

    But if its in the nature of princesse to be blindly optimistic, then bring out the sun-tan lotion, and dance away. :)

    Hahahahah, you hit the nail on the head anonymous. There are few today who will listen to their inner voices / their heart. That's just what I'm doing. And if that makes me someone who is blindly optimistic, then so be it.

    But I tell you, I am not blind. I see all that there is. But if in spite of all that I have experienced and see and continue to see, my little heart chides, "dance on princesse", what am I to do?

    Listen to your inner voice, if you are still alive. The moment you fail to pay heed to it, you have stopped living.

    I have become much more attune to my inner-voice. You know the "gut feelings" that we get? It is all part of the same thing.

    Everyone has a conscience. Everyone has the inner voice. But you really got to listen to it. And you got to look out for the signs it sends you.

    Do so, and you will be at peace with all.
