Image: The Return of a
Long-lost Soul-mate (here)
once upon a slumber
dedication of a sleeping partner
given to heaven's blessings
of sharing a bed
nothing untoward
in the legitimacy
of perhaps of being a ladies' man
caught red-handed but
rather keeping company
to ease off a faint heart
requiring attention
the sacred will of a longing
for a childhood friend
a soul-mate
long lost but appeared
one day at the door-step
to claim the love and affections
of a friend of having
grown up together
now united and inseparable

A lovely ballad where sweetness rises to the apex, a hopeful allegory--the way I felt years ago when my life came full circle as old friends from decades past showed up on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteYou've got it made Glenn! Hank had the same experience too in some rediscoveries and it was such a thrill!

An insightful write. It’s always amazing ... that feeling of completeness when old friends re-appear to complete us.
ReplyDeleteLove this take on the prompt. With some friends, you can be apart for years, a great distance of time and space...and when you see them again, you just pick up where you were (albeit older) and it's as if you were never apart. Old friends make the best friends :) Well there you go, another stock phrase for you.
ReplyDeleteWhen old ones crop back up can sure be grand indeed.
