Friends are like red diamonds

Rare, brilliant, precious, enduring

I've been gifted a unique Jewel

Exquisitely fancy-colored soul

No oceans matter so long as we

Drift in the poetry of our words

Share our hearts through the aether

Hang in space between our worlds

Imagining how it'd be like to gather

Perfection is the  imperfection

Lies within the deep blue Hope

A Hypomania of hues shining truth

Strong and piquant as quality quotes

Touch base with the eager mind

Stimulating thoughts and confabulation

Family be familiarity not blood relation

Only a 24-carat tickles fanciful imagination

Rubies are good, pearls are fine, plenty

Each semi-precious bauble an instant

Vague short stories, lackluster rocks

Ergo authenticity not a Forbidden quest

Remember, God's The Maker of the best.
