not afraid <br />to venture <br />across the street <br />willing to raise eyes <br />to those I pass <br />acknowledging with a smile <br />a transient stranger <br /> <br />free of judgement <br />while occupied <br />thinking fleeting thoughts <br />and wondering why <br />arriving on schedule <br />to meet an old friend <br /> <br />excitedly hugging <br />it has been a long time <br />sharing my heart <br />and the song of life <br />thankful for each <br />spontaneous breath shared <br /> <br />comparing what time <br />has offered <br />discovering shadows <br />of common sadness <br />intensifying happiness <br />giving perspective <br />to why we are here <br /> <br />7/18/2010<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/renewed-friendship/
