THE REUNION
Dawn was approaching,
On that snowy day,
The sun was slowly setting.

With many tints, the sky was pigmented,
A latticework of colors
That darkened and shifted.

I drove my car through the earthen road
Layered thinly with snow,
And parked where the path narrowed.

I looked out to the snowy day,
Glanced across the cold landscape,
for her, somewhere along this pathway.

And from the distance,
Her I saw,
In her beauty and elegance.

The moment came to a standstill,
Etched into my mind,
A moment that I remember still.

I opened the door, ran out of the car.
To reach her,
The distance seemed not far.

At the sight of this, she beamed,
Laughed a little.
And it seemed that with delight, she gleamed.

As I came closer, I saw her more clearly,
Wearing a blouse of turquoise bands,
And a scarf, that in the wind, swayed freely.

In her cachinnation,
She held out her arms,
And beckoned me in elation.

I took her in an embrace long awaited,
One long desired,
And her feet from the ground, I lifted.

I spun her round,
And let her down,
For that love of mine, I have once again found.
