Ramblings Between Friends - Budgie and I

A line in a poem must never stray

A word in a line must know its place
For every action we take, we create
We change the order of things

Molecules, atoms, DNA, tones, notes
All connected, like water between ripples
Snow crystals in avalanches

Our hands gesturing in the air
Create movement, small folds in time
All in orbit like the cosmos itself

As gems fill the sky above every smile
As friendship exists without definition
But colours life, world and universe

It's fun, isn't it :) Wasn't even sure if it would come out in such a way that it would be enjoyable for others.

A beautiful blend of abstract and concrete ... lovely meaningfulness in every line ... great power in small folds of time and radiance in in the space above every smile ... inspiring poem ... love it ...

heh, it certainly is, it was more an exchange of ideas, and fun, and it grew sort of into something of a poem, I love it.
