Friendship

sorenbarrett

May our friendship be like the sun

a greeting light until day is done

It lies behind the clouds of the darkest storm

in a cold world its fire will always warm

In the dark of night its reflection still gives light

Knowing even in death, in the mourning, it will return bright

            In these modern times of a throw away society, all too often a friendship is cast by the wayside by people who don't appreciate the friends they have. Excellent write soren. 👍

                Soren, Your poem aims to celebrate the power of friendship, offering comfort and hope to those who may feel isolated or in mourning. It serves as a reminder that true friendships can transcend challenges and continue to provide light and warmth in our lives.You used Words like "sun," "light," "darkest storm," "cold world," and "mourning" to evoke strong visual and emotional responses. The juxtaposition of warmth and cold highlights the contrast between friendship and loneliness.
