 __Dance Upon The Wind__


 * by Intimate Knight**

I wasn't looking for it, but some how it came, and found me. Before I had a chance to react, it wrapped it's warmth around me. Like a thief in the night, it has come and gone. I have nothing, but that vision to reflect upon.

Until chance comes again, I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind. All day long, in my mind, I walk love's lonely street. Like a tired man that longs to sit, but just can't find a seat. Then, there it was again, up ahead, to light my way.

Only to vanish once more, just like all my yesterdays. Until chance comes again, I'll let my thoughts dance upon the wind. I don't know where I'm going, and where I've been isn't much to speak of. I just know my heart is always showing, leading me to some far off love.

Just when I give up the fight. Here it comes to make the bad things good, and the wrong things right. Only to leave me lost and lonely again. Drifting away as my thoughts dance upon the wind.

It has a name, I think they call it friend.

__Follow Me __


 * by Michelle Newton**

Take my hand and follow me to that place I long to be. Take my hand and trust my way, in that place forever stay. Follow me toward the sand; we'll run and play, hand in hand. Take my heart and hold it true; forever I'll stay close to you. Seize my words and listen well, then forever I will tell. Release your heart and feelings too, just as I will do for you. Trust your heart and follow me, to that place we long to be.

__What Comes Of Tomorrow __


 * by Christine**

Joy is what fills the heart of they which hold within the mysteries of a friend A passion unknown unto words Within them fall the tears of all things they endure as one And from their eyes diamonds fall, So precious every one Dear within, the memories they caress with sorrow And gather them today, for what may come of tomorrow Priceless  Priceless ever are these moments that we spend with those so dear Comforting now to know that they are near Yet there comes a day when they see the eagle soar And feel within their hearts A passion so much more As we stand beside them when that gleam glows in their eyes What comes of tomorrow My friend's lost paradise And though a distant barrier wells up within the heart There is a joy inside To know the joy of a dawning start Standing there beside them on that road to paradise We say farewell and weep Knowing they must also compromise And so we hold them close and whisper in their ear Please take with you these memories. Then from the eyes, Your tear.

These poems are all related through friendship. I tried to pick poems in a specific order, the first poem is about finding a friend, the second poem is about having a friend and the third is about losing a friend. They are all very similar because they express the happiness and joy that friendship emits. For the first poem it shows how when you are looking for a friend it is not always easy but when you find someone you can truly be friends with you are enveloped in the warmth of each others hearts. The second poem clearly expresses the feeling of trust between friends and trust is what a friendship is based off of. It shows the main concept of friendship and in my opinion has the give and take feeling where if you don't give you can't recieve. The third poem states how no matter who you are or how much you have locked away your heart there is still a way for you to open up to someone, you just have to find the right person. Even if it doesn't last long at least you were able to open the barrier surrounding your heart.

The third poem had the most affect on me because for me it creates the best image in my mind. I can relate to this with my own experiences. I share so many precious memories with my friends. This poem really touches me in my heart because the first time I read it I could feel my heart opening up. This poem captures the main idea of friendship and expresses it so vividly. I truly feel that this poem can touch the hearts of those who read it.
