a poem concerning friendship

in the passing of moments
we're lead away on waves
in the revival of memories
we're lead back on pilgrimages

scattered like sun rays off water's ripples
we are absorbed into a new medium
a technology of static friendships and idle love
our waves spreading and connecting with so many others

from a single seed has developed the self
from single seeds has developed everyone else
the singularity of consciousness begging for freedom
to express it's shadows on the Cave Walls

as such, i am compelled to post ephemeral poetry
in hopes that my ideas may resonate with any that view
but especially those with whom i've shared meaningful times
it's but a mere pittance to my absences throughout years

i am not Odysseus
my adventures are humble
and the dangers common
yet, i long for the shores of home

where ever a friend stands
arms outstretched, smiling eyes
i am assured of relief
even if only momentarily

before i am gone...
