Upwards

FLY magician, Friendship wears a coat
Unstained by Chance, sad circumstance, exclusion.
Phoenix flight may save from grief's confusion
When 'cares attack and life seems black', remote
Aid altruistic, non-judgemental vote,
Restoring trust in confident conclusion.
Dreams, rejecting artifice, delusion,
Set sights upon fresh start, and keep afloat
LINks Deep, hope's steers life's optimistic boat,
SEYchelles acqua tinted, joy's profusion.

Acrostic : Fly Upwards Lindsey


FLY in this sense signifies astute, alert, not to be deceived or hoodwinked

Fly in the sense of flying key's into the flight of the Phoenix which consumes itself and is reborn through its own ashes.


'cares attack and life seems black' a quotation from Good Gnus by P.G. Wodehouse - the author of Jeeves http://www.cs.rice.edu/~ssiyer/minstrels/poems/1537.html

and thus represents depression in this case from loss and grief.

Thus friendship does not sacrifice principles on the altar of circumstance but keeps faith with feelings...

    I think these two very nicely crafted lines are the back bone of this poem and any true friendship where ever people may be. A spiritually uplifting poem to lighten any ones heart and bring hope.

  • Superb
