A journey…

A simple poem dedicated to eleven beautiful people!

I took a little journey to a sunny beach
To find myself, others and a connection to each
The first evening I didn’t know where we were heading
The next morning was different – in a room full of beddings!

AM was silent, a little stern, thought I
SSR seemed a very philosophical guy
And then there was PD who couldn’t sit still
AC was wondering how the time he could kill.

SA remarked about how ‘someone’ was late
While DC thought, “Oh, what a fatal mistake”
AP kept talking and throwing names about
AB was himself – speaking his mind out.

SM was observing as best as he was able
While AK brought all his experience to the ‘table’
SG was cold, with a pillow for a shield
While I thought, what would this experience yield?

The first awkward day and all were at sea
Groping, kicking and drowning were we
Our lifeline proved to be simple – a bit of Here and Now
The days after got better, we connected – and how!

We sifted through the present and a bit of the past
And we all connected with each other at last
I miss all you guys and cherish you too
My life is much better, simply knowing all of you!

  3. awesome poem AV i love it a lot. well written. you should keep writing!

    "I hear crying men & women
    but their cries are not the same
    & my dream takes on new meaning, as the drumming starts again....
    i thank you all for the memories,
    the laughter & the tears,
    they will linger in my heart
    As if we all never part..."
