NaPoWriMo Prompt
And now for our daily optional prompt. The surrealist painters Remedios Varo and Leonora Carrington moved to Mexico during the height of World War II, where they began a life-long friendship. Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem themed around friendship, with imagery or other ideas taken from a painting by Carrington, and a painting by Varo.

(Title Unknown) - Carrington, Leonora
"Exploring River of The Source Orinonoco" - Varo, Remedios
Found In Your Friendship
If I sought the source of your praise
And heard whispered incantations,
I would attend that opera.
Your faithful acclaim bolsters me through all our seasons.
Were I to seek the fountainhead of your support
And discover no more than an overspilled glass,
I would float onward.
Your river’s constant flow carries me across our expanses.
If I found the flame of your encouragements
To be merely sputtering taper light,
I would bask in the glow.
Your candle’s unending beacon is our home.
I seek not for I do not need to know the road ahead.
The map of our friendship is charted as we travel together.
