Ships leaving the
port
destined for
foreign waters
fearful to tread
unknown territory.
Confidence
slipping away.
A lovely blossom
in full bloom
heat scorching
the petals
lets go of the stem.
Beauty
slipping away.
A true love once
flourished
in the passion
of the sun
cools with the
evening breeze.
Emotions
slipping away.

This is an outstanding poem
This is an outstanding poem by someone I consider a great writer.
And even if we hold on tight
And even if we hold on tight to it, if it is not meant to be, I do believe, it will still slip away, this is a poem so true, as if it is dedicated to some one you know..
