Friends of Distant Stars (fully explained)
Amongst far away decades 7 (through the years and far away) - This references a song done by the Eminence Symphony Orchestra in attribution to 5 Centimeters per second.
The stars dance in rejoice of your elegance 11 - no outside references, I just like stars lol
When the golden hour fades 7 (the Daguerreian process) - This line does reference Jake's song titled Golden Hour. It also references the actual golden hour from the game Life is Strange.
The silver light comes to reflect your brilliance 11 (the dormant daughter) - this makes reference to princess Yue and her tragic story from avatar the last air bender.
Your divine eloquence rings 7 (we drank a toast to innocence) - the word eloquence references a specific Code Geass moment in which Lelouch speaks of a memory he has of his best friend, Suzaku, describing happiness as glass. The word eloquence also makes reference to a very depressing song titled Same Auld Lang Syne by Dan Fogelberg.
In the grand beauty of our vast galaxy 11
The sky brings warm tidings 7
When your voices meet in lovely symphony 11 (Forester) - Symphony is a lovely song by an artist named Forester.
Seasons may fade as days change 7 (oh seasons, fade not) - another reference to 5 Centimeters per second, particularly its credits theme.
But my love will pour like the mid-summer's rain 11 (Afternoon of rainy day) - reference to a song in another one of Makoto Shinkai's works titled Garden of Words.
And as the land becomes dry 7 (Plight) - a reference to my poem 'Til The Lightless Dawn.
The moonflower will bloom and its crest never wane 11 (Sun/Moon) - moonflower references Dark Cloud 2's chapter 7 titled Palace of Flowers. The word crest references Dark Cloud 2's chapter 3 where the character Crest's story is told.
Red strings bind us together 7 (ZenZenSe) - references Makoto Shinkai's Your Name.
Though of course, through life we will endlessly roam 11
Family, our hearts tether 7
Neither time nor distance can destroy our home 11 (Sparkle/Home) - references Your Name's song titled Sparkle. And of course, the word home references RWBY's song titled Home.
Now, you may be wondering what all the 7s and 11s were for. I deliberately made each line 7 and 11 syllables, specifically because I love Green Day's album American Idiot in which they make reference to a 7/11 where enlightenment was reached.
This poem was written out of love for my friends and how dearly I cherish them as my family. They have brought so much light into my life. If any of you are reading this now, "Thank you for being my family"
