OLde poem RE-visited: fRiends

I woke  up pretty&early this mornin' because I went to hit the hay lust night earlier than usual, having roamed Furong town almost half-a-day lookin' for TWO RASCALS who each had kept ten copies of my "Midnight Voices" REPRINT for more than two years and just "disappeared" from SEremban town. I am also searching HI&LO&BEhold for a BIGGER Rascal who I used and paid for RM2,000 as service fee (in using his office as "TREAsurer") for wan BUM outing; on receipt of last big payment, he deducted an extra RM800 for himself, and then like MH370, vanished into thin air.

Wit' such f(R)iends around, DEsi sometimes wonders if he has been "too kind" to others, as I always give newer acquaintances BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT! TRusted and proven fRIends have oft reproached DEsi for being "Naive"; my response as always goes som'thin' like t'is: As an activist, I Need to interact with as many people as possible; also, we must "trust" that each "Rascal" who lets ye down would have made ye WISER,  yes!

IN meeting such LETDOWN MOments, I go back to my past writings to lift me up agin and here is ONE I Find SOLACE in:~~~

09/27/14--21:23: Dreams Are Made of These...

 

fRiends who abide with Thee always
in high and low tides
through thick and thin -- especially through your nightmare woements
cherishing tender  times as One
dispersing the aches of a fall
we are All in One and One for More...

you made Desi's counting of fRiends on my two hands' fingers waver
from a lo of 3 to a hi of se7en, my Lucky Number

Thou art One who stays forever
He/she inspires this little poem
'Tho we have sometimes not kept in touch
But words don't do justice enough
to the genuine feelings we both know
that beat Constantly
in o u r heARTs
in waking hours
in less conscious moments
in slumber nice or knot...
we remember
we will never drop the "R"
in our  f R i e n d ship

that's what we have destined ourselves
when we stay in our precious isle
