And life brings together
Sing. Dance. Love. Listen.
Feel the rhythm. Feel the ride.
A roommate previously unknown
begins to unpack,
curiosities scattered across the speckled dorm floor
unsure whether friend or foe mirrors her actions.
A match is lit as a friendship is kindled
starting slow and beginning to grow
until a towering flame outgrows the pit built
it thunders into all areas of existence.
A deluge drops
the wood is separated,
but the flames roar on.
And life tears apart
Write. Call. E-mail. Visit.
Clinging to the joy etched in memory.
