All I Have in Life

My joyful 'witchy' friend
thinks only good of ev'ryone
She taught me how love works
conspires constantly with angels;
captured my soul in water colors
She's the true spirit of friendship

My two sensitive new friends
have allowed illness to intrude
and all I have to give them
are paper orchids and good wishes
and butterflies of poetry
Now I hope they listen to their inner truths
They are the reasons for friendship

Then there are my false friends
They faded like fog from daylight
They mystified me, made me feel regret
I try, to seldom think of them
For they were not friendship

I have friends who are 
drama queens, they add 'delight,'
my favourite word, and often they
can be as distant as  mountains
and as purposely absurd
I treasure moments with them
They are the poetry of friendship

 I have friends whose children revolve,
like tiny planets, around them
I have friends  filled with passion 
too deep for expression
and some who never seem to lift their heads 
above clouds of depression
They are the longings of friendship

I have friends whose expectations, 
I failed to live out, and so they left 
I have friends in far away places that 
I'm always promising to revisit
I have friends with whom I share a perfect affinity
but with no time left over to spend with me
They are the lost potential of friendship

I have had really good friends, until
our lives drifted apart and all of our longing
we kept hidden in our hearts,
expressed in imaginary cards
and letters we often failed to write
They are the regret of lost friendship

For me there can be no end to the cycle
of friendships -I am certain
For all I have to live for
 is my friends.
