They have been my greatest friends lately,<\/p>\n
all of them unseen.<\/p>\n
Yet they keep me company in these times that I can see.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, I feel them crank away with joy<\/p>\n
in sweet noisy bantering.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, I see them stretch their hands<\/p>\n
for handshakes in the grinding.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, they smile, wink, and laugh hard at me.<\/p>\n
In a mix of comfort and some little hurting,<\/p>\n
they have been the best friends I know.<\/p>\n
All these things I see,<\/p>\n
…all of them unseen.<\/p>\n
Hope, faith, care, and love…<\/p>\n
I see them all,<\/p>\n
…all of them unseen.<\/p>\n
Tenacity, belief, and assurances…<\/p>\n
I see them all,<\/p>\n
…all of them unseen.<\/p>\n
My new unseen friends,<\/p>\n
I see them all.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
