Reunion

The symphony of family pictures

Brought a smile of wryness,

But memories of arguments

Spouted blazing wrath like spicy food

 

He loathed being the underdog in their discussions

Just as he hated being the office clerk

He could not accept two bosses

For only one would pay

 

But as his eyes traced the ink on the letter again

The warm memories absorbed the haze

Just like the paper soaked the feelings that flowed

Winter gave way to spring within

 

He sobbed with each nod

Responding to the mute plea

“Can we change our egos

And make untie into unite?”

I’ve been in a phase of trying a number of new things. Or is that just life?
