A Reintoduction of Memories

Funny how a picture in a Facebook group post can stir up enough to compel one to write....

A reunion
Old face mix with new
I wish I was one of them
Time as weathered all
Look how the group’s baby has grown up
To sing a lungful of unsung note
Feet itching to tap unproduced rhythms
It all plays out
In my mind
Missed opportunities and pictures uncaptured
These haunt my mind
Long for even the most forgotten of things
The smell of cough drops
The vibrations in bodies and air
The electricity and excitement
Before house lights
Before curtains
Gone
Gone is the skinny girl with her studies and books
Gone is the baby of the group
Replaced by one eager to create memories once more
A re-imagined imaginary re introduction
To a past time
To a hobby
To a family
That was never truly forgotten
And hopes they never forgot their baby too
