Refreshing

The years have wrapped themselves
into complex tales of
death, love, joy and
frustration.

We have been separated by
time, space, thoughts
and age.

Yet we hold an uncommon connection
that only our common blood
could make possible.

It took just one day
(From 6 a.m. to 8:30 p.m)
to shatter the differences
that education and experience
had once so confidently built.

A few laughs, shared fatigue,
climbing up trees and hills, getting lost in
caves and knocking tamarinds off
the tree.

Our childhood was never a dream:
it is a definite reality
reflected in our
separate but sometimes mingling
adulthood.
