Now and Then

Now and Then

A Poem by Andrew John

A friend sat there forty years past - in that chair. And thirty years, and twenty. Was here, sitting there - in that chair. Was then - and five years ago. Even one. Just a month? A week? Hard to keep track after so much absence - and a little presence. Here and there. An email now and then. Hmm, then, but not now. That chair claims then and now, claims a space, then and now. Can a space say all it once would say? My memory holds so much but, well, that space: so little. Just a chair now. (05.02.23)

We can so easily lose touch with friends over the years. Last year I made a big effort to renew friendships. So pleased I did. A phone call or an e mail can work wonders. Do it while you have the chance I say:)
