Flickers of Friendship

Friendships come and go in my experience.

I keep those who I want to keep very close,

while others I seem to let fade into little flickers of friendship.

Dense darkness is only punctured by a fleeting amber glow,

Too quick to burn.

And yet does so completely.

Inky Blue Abyss

To the ends of the earth and back again.

To the ends of the earth and back again.

To the ends of the earth and back again.

Twisting, swirling, angry and violent random seas

power to smash, crush, explode little wooden boats.

On the horizon, nothing hovers.

The inky blue abyss with worlds above their heads

Unknowing, unseeing yet very much breathing, living.

If They only could see Us.

A Billion, Billion Iridescent Spheres

What am I?

A billion, billion iridescent spheres,

touching, moving, jostling for position next to one another.

Moving in unified motion 

then disappear

Veins that pump for a thousand years, some the size of an elephant's truck.

It's body reaching, grasping for everything

and nothingness

Spanning broad and proud, shielding from unwanted crowds

The cells of each are all.

Can You TELL what it is Yet?
