suddenly
we all woke
to the same day
the sun cast
realizations
that pettiness
& rivalries
were lost long ago
similarities
strengths & woes
tie us

a year here
a year there
is lost in time
our ages
the same
the original roots
our youth
are 1
in the same
years of claiming
differences
of growth & direction
have fused
now leading
all to reflection

me
to
you
those
to
we
pasts……..
interactions…….
a locker full
of worth

each & everyone
has the combination
for trust
is in the memories
each holds to heart
now holding each other
treasuring the jewels
of yesteryears
making room
for old friends & acquaintances
to renew
