In the Middle

Monday, June 15, 2009

Sitting on steps 
strolling our breaks away 
we stumbled over thoughts 
and conversations 
Bonds were formed 
which our chemistry books said nothing of. 
We learnt 
that we see things 
as we are 
that no two people see the same rainbow 
and by the day 
the speck that was life 
grows closer, bigger 
as we reach for the horizon. 
And suddenly ever so soon, 
shoe polish, games lesssons 
morning prayers, lunch breaks 
Belts, ties, badges 
Will be memories 
swimming in nostalgia. 
Next year when we watch 
students climb onto the 
7:30 bus, yellow and black, 
we will smile a wistful smile 
and wish 
we were back 
right here.
