How did your school reunion go?
I’ve been asked ever since the event
So gather around if you’re interested
and I’ll try to describe how it went
I felt like a seagull
rejoining its flock
after years of flying alone
I felt like an elephant
home with its herd
back in its comfort zone
I’ve been to the desert
I’ve been to the sea
there are mountains that bear my name
but nothing compares
with going back to embrace
the place from whence I came
I’ve had the good fortune
at times in my life
to be nurtured and well-understood
My old school reunion was just like that:
it felt overwhelmingly good
