"Truly great friends are hard to find,
difficult to leave, and impossible to forget."
difficult to leave, and impossible to forget."
~ G. Randolf
JUST REMEMBER . . .
Class Reunion
Close your eyes and see
Your friends as they used to be
Before life claimed them--
Drove them away from your side,
As it drove you far from them.
Listen to laughter,
The high pitched squeals of delight
At discoveries,
Exciting links to fresh life--
Deep, awakening tingles
Claimed your waking days
And led you to wild-eyed nights,
Alive, new essence
Coursed the high streets of your youth,
Out of control and with love.
Feel emotions rise
As neurons reconnect friends
To your current life;
Smell the fragrances of time
As you tread the path to them,
To the reunion
You're torn apart to attend
And find they're still gone,
Never to return to you
Though you hug and say, "hello!"
The past, the future
Swirl in a maddening dance;
You're alone again--
Conflicting earmark of youth
Regained of a moment's glance
'Til epiphany
Opens your eyes wide to see
The fullness ahead—
With a loving past as guide
To the cherished life you've built.
