National Poetry Writing Month - April 6, 2014

Almost a whole week into this and I think I'm getting the hang of it. This one will be about friends that I haven't seen in about 20 years, but will be reuniting with this summer. It's a trip that I am looking forward to very much.

...And It Feels So Good

So see these men and women again is something that 

I never thought would happen. 

Brothers and sisters in arms

From my youth. My glory days gone past

Technology keeps us connected

Up to date and in the know

With the wives and husbands and children

But thousands of real miles separate us all

Vacations could be made

For one on one meetings and reminiscing

To sit on porches or in restaurants

And laugh and remember the good time

And the bad times as well

We weren't always as wise as we are now

Then, we were young and brash

Headstrong, if not smart

But vacations are fleeting and short

Like this one will ultimately be

Only a few days to say hello

And then it's goodbye again

For who knows how long

Before we see each other in the real world

I am looking forward to seeing them all again

Even if for only a small while
