HONOR OLD FRIENDS

HONOR OLD FRIENDS

 

You did so well my friends

From out of the earth

You arose and with a flourish

Hung us from the hearth

 

Then craving for one`s self

Admiring those who posed

You abdicated the absolute

To pal with olfactory closed

 

A few will hold the line

Pretending that we are fine

But there`s an ache for friends

Who chose pretense over kind

Friendship is undefinable .. we look for affection, we're given honesty and it sometimes hurts; we need the humour, we need the empathy, they don't always come hand in hand; we honour the calm but look for adventure; we search for love and lose ourselves in the process .. I think, not sure, that this is what you're saying in a sweet, flowing piece of writing. If I'm wrong, so sorry.

I like it a lot. Not quite sure I fully comprehend it just yet. I seem to be missing something. Most likely because I'm just too tired right now for the subtlest parts to coalesce.

i relate....i love to honor old friends, even if they are not here....sometimes i feel sad that we grew apart but always happy they existed....

Very beautiful and real.

Honor old friends, this seems to be slipping away the honor of friends..
I like this and see it is more than meets the eye...

the painful reality of friendship, especially those friendships that are hanging on by a thread. However, even by a thread they are woven into the fabric of your being and should be honored even if they aren't in the whole picture anymore.

A piece of truth about friendship…

I like it...

This is a little too deep of a read after a day in the garden. I understand bits and pieces of it, but will reread it when my mind isn't out there somewhere in hiding.
I like this line though
