Reinforced

Life's more than gratifying
when coming upon others
who reflect our magnificence
while sharing similar perspective
as form of support,
able to recognize beauty,
miracle, love, and joy
in way we do,
following intellectual, spiritual paths
that illicit emotional cohesiveness,
through laughter, tears, compassion,
and it's the latter
which bonds friendships tight,
seeing in another 'yourself',
having felt familiar wounding
expressed by story told,
the ancient human myth
born of overcoming challenges,
succumbing to many also,
tempered in failure's fire
then rising as phoenix
stronger for the severing,
healing, and scarred reminder,
though in the aloneness
of Life's hard knocks
one can doubt worthiness,
question direction, inner stirrings,
yet somehow muster energy,
inquire Truth, experiences reinforced.
