Why, I ask myself,
do I feel the rush to put these words out?
Why, when only a few
weeks ago, I longed to see this day?
Why, when I thought
I should jump in joy and shout,
My heart goes quiet
and my feelings solemnly lay?
As I search myself
for answers to these queries
I find replies for
questions I haven't even asked
Is it possible to
collect a lifetime worth of memories
And make great
friends in just seven weeks that passed?
Is one night in
woods enough to bring four men together?
Is it possible to
share a part of life over a few meals?
Can intimacy be
measured by the number of laughs shared?
Or a few slides
about a person make him or her so dear?
Can five such men be
found, who impart wisdom in so few words?
Are bonds really
blind to age, language, culture and nation?
Can they really
flock together, diverse feathered birds?
Are love,
inspiration and respect really the same emotion?
"Yes!",
the answer presents itself to all the questions.
The answer makes me
gleefully sad.
While I am happy I
learned that all this is possible
It saddens me as the
time for learning has come to an end.
"Not to
worry", I hear thirty and more voices say to me.
The answer is
"Yes" to more questions than I've thought of!
Shall we carry the
light of this learning ahead and higher?
Shall we meet again,
sooner or not, to relive these friendships?
Time may try and put
all the seven seas between us
But shall we commit
to keep each other close to our thoughts?
My answer is still a
loud "Yes!", hope you heard it.
If not, I will tell
you the same in my dreams tonight!
