This is another of my attempts at poetry. It went with a digital painting which I can share if you're interested. But here goes. This one is about how we change in our lives, grow apart from close friends, sometimes becoming less close. The unpredictable tides of life, and our struggle to fight for positivity in the face of negative odds over the brink of every wave on this voyage.

Welcome, my friend, to the ocean of chaos.
Where dreams shatter and are born
Where visions are vivid and fleeting.
It is a scary place indeed
And yet so empowering.
I'd never intended for you to find me here
Here in this state of being
And I won't blame you for turning away, old friend
For I am not who you once knew
I cannot blame you for your changing view
Things seldom stay the same out here
In the bitter rain, and howling winds
Upon the seas of chaos
And once again, I bid thee fair well
Though the skies are always changing
Through thunder crack and lightning strike
I send my warmest regards.
