Ahhhhh, those wondrous hellos
and those sorrowful goodbyes!
Truly 'tis a glorious thing to see
old friends from distant lands.
Obviously, due to that necessary
travel, it doesn't happen often.
The thing I find fascinating is the
excitement surrounding arrivals
and the sadness at the time of
departure. Still, I wouldn't have
it any other way.
The catching up, bumping into
each other's sentences, excitement
abounding, nigh onto orgasmic.
Then comes the quieter time of
a meal shared, a dessert enjoyed,
candles burning low. Bedtime
approaches and one would prefer
to stay awake. Alas, Mr. Sleepy
will have his way!
I think of those precious gifts
exchanged and how they will be
cherished. With each bite of the
peach, the loved one is recalled.
As juice runs down the chin, a
chuckle escapes along with the
enjoyment of the fruit.
Aren't we all ever so lucky to
have loved ones in our lives?!
Methinks 'tis rather a bit of
heaven on earth . . .
