#10. Seven Moons After….
7 moons after
We retrace the path we’d traveled together
To past seasons of falling leaves and cloudy skies
Of new beginnings and nervous laughter
With strangers we’d never met
Now friends we may never forget
A cliché but it does fly
Just see how quickly these 8 moons went by…
7 moons before
If only we knew
That countless sunset later
We’d be standing here
Basking in the glow of old friends meeting anew
Through many a-smile and many a-tear
The light from our hope burying our pain
Revelling in the after-glow again and again
Just see how quickly these 7 moons went by…
7 moons now
We still make mistakes along the way
Of things we do and words we say
Yet the glory of it all remains the same
We are made better by our shame
For we learn to have wisdom as a friend
Guiding our paths, leading us till the very end
We learnt a lot in these 7 moons gone by…
7 moons tomorrow
Lives colliding, lives intersecting
The sheer mystery, the miracle of a thought
That maybe somewhere, somehow
We were to cross each other’s path
And now, we have these imprints
Engraved on the quilted fabrics of our hearts
So go on dear friends, into the wild
Live your dreams and kick up a storm
A cliché but it does fly
Just see how quickly these times went by
Dear friends, can you believe it?
7 moons of 960 just went by.
