The coolness of morning dew, <br />The softness of a cobweb, <br />The beauty of flowers many, <br />The caress of a gentle breeze, <br />A smile, a word, a knowing glance, <br />Friendship, a word- <br />Defined, yet undefined. <br /> A dream, an early morning dream, <br />A dream, so real, so full of life, <br />Leaving mind with pleasure, <br />Though never real. <br />A mirage in desert, <br />Mistook for an oasis, <br />Search for shelter, craving strong, <br />Yet lost, never to be found. <br />A mast, so I hope, <br />Taking ship safe to land, <br />A mast, torn in itself, <br />Setting me, to the bosom of sea. <br />A song, an enchanting song, <br />Ceased without end, the- <br />Enchantedness, incomplete, <br />Leaving mind, in tragic resonance. <br />Friendships lost, in the paths of life, <br />In the grab for motley garb of dreams, <br />Friendship, a promise, a dream, <br />Though never real, never found! ! !<br /><br />Sreeja Sreedharan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friendships-lost/
