    Hello Alfred,
    As Cindy says, this really is a beautiful little piece of poetry that I enjoyed reading more than once!
    "Finding and holding onto the gilded eddies of beautiful people..."

    ^^^^

    magic.

    My only suggestion is "....what makes this journey light up" rather than "lit up"

    Either way, a stunning write. Nominated.

    Take care and all the best,
    Ben

    Hello Koan,

    this poem shares an important message...

    Life,
    is an underwater moonlight
    that fades away swiftly
    in the ocean of time..
    ^
    I like the word 'life' alone on its own line. After all, life is ours alone and so should be up there on top. I like too the metaphor of it fading through the deepening water as it disappears through time. Excellent imagery here.
    Just a very small adjustment. add one more '.' after the word 'time' using 3 full stops is what usually signifies a continuation. You used this on your 2nd stanza, so maybe it was a typo?

    Finding
    and holding onto
    the gilded eddies
    of beautiful people
    is what makes this journey
    light up a thousand times brighter
    than any Sun...
    ^
    I like the message here. Life is a life, but what makes it special and meaningful and 'light' is the relationships we pull to our hearts and embrace them and experience their light and make it our own. After all, what are we without each other?

    Well done, I like this a lot.

    Take care,

    Michael

    Beautiful people are wonderful.. the heart of a person is brighter than the moon if the soul is filled with compassion...

    A beautiful poem full of elegance.
    A beautiful heart makes for a beautiful person and often a wonderful friendship and once you have that you shouldn't let it go because as you say in a much better way it makes the world go round much better than money and other things, if that makes sense.

    All in all a lovely write.

    Take care, Em

    Life,
    is an underwater moonlight
    that fades away swiftly
    in the ocean of time..

    .
    .
    The opening is a lovely one, makes the reader wanna keep on to find out what your deal with life is.
    Gives them expectations
    and help them create an imagination of what that could be.

    I love it.

    Then we have this

    Finding
    and holding onto
    the gilded eddies
    of beautiful people
    is what makes this journey
    light up a thousand times brighter
    than any Sun...

    it gives us more about what makes this life beautiful.
    People around us who we love and trust are the ones who makes this journey worthwhile.

    I enjoyed reading your work. keep on writing.
