Speak, Softly; Laugh.

on meeting a very old foe officially

I saw him, after long,
Still same.

I stood where told;
As he slowly searched
Through the heads.

Years back, i wondered;
Numerous scars we left,
followed with shame on each other.
Now we meet, not personal.

I wondered if it could change;
Or would beside the coffee,
Be two men, spotted with work;
Never known the other.

The quiet eyes met with a nod.
The table occupied.
He sat, following me;
And there, we sat for hours.

Spoke,
Softly;
And laughed.

Once again excellent. I enjoyed this, when we meet the people who caused our scars that is where the conflict between good and evil is most ultimately present. Though as savage creatures as we can often be it is amazing how we forgive each others injuries and as craig said people could learn a lesson from it. Kudos

This was cool! It reminds me of that friendly yet abusive relationship I have with my uncle. This was like a watching a grudge come to an end. Kudos!

You create such a reflective mood, moving from the past.. the pain.. into what seemed a brilliant turn of events.. Laughing.. I wish the world could learn this lesson..
