Friendships fade.
Hands part.
Rowboats separate,
Sailing independent
of each other.
The ocean of life
becoming wider,
more inhospitable.
I have lost so
many
friends,
losing touch as we
chose separate paths,
separate journeys.
Yet, the memories...
I will always have
the Jewel-like
memories.
Every last one,
opalescent within
my hands.

I love this poem—very easy to relate to, especially now for me, at a time when I'm breaking from both this site and the friends I made here (as well as thinking about the friends I made here who left long ago). Very relatable for everyone, I think

I guess I must write about things that everyone feels :) The picture is beatiful, the colors are so clear.

This is so touching! I know the feeling to a great extent. Friendships lift you up, then fade (so heartbreaking). This poem is just lovely! Yes, memories are jewel-like. Very well said, and please keep writing.
