Friendship Poem by Valsa George

Friendship

Rating: 5.0


Friendship - a seamless sky
Far too complex to gauge or delve.
At times like the early rays of morn
It fills one with joy.
At times like a gentle breeze
It cuddles and cossets.
At times like dark clouds
It overcasts the mind.
At times it comes blowing like a gale
Sweeping us off our feet.
At times it sprouts like a seedling
Growing out into a tree, giving shade.
It blossoms like a Night Queen
Diffusing in the air, a heady scent.
At times like the plaintive notes from a flute
It saddens the soul.
Like a rainbow it may swiftly vanish
Or remain like a beacon
Guiding us when storms rage.

In darkness, it burns like a candle.
In loneliness, a sweet presence.
At times so silent
At times so very eloquent
Finally like an unfinished tale
A fond memory
A lingering scent
Like the life - sustaining breath
It remains…..!

A worthwhile read again. You sure are, at least ostensibly, someone who delves into nature, for in almost all the poems I have read, you attribute some aspect of it to nature: that has become a defining feature of your poetry. The part starring the rainbow and a beacon is my favourite.

Friendship, it is great on your part to create a poem on friendship without losing even a bit of it's eloquence, beauty and greatness. Friendship means all positives put together. It is of course fond memory and a lingering scent. Thank you Valsa George.
