My Old Friend From The Hood
I ran into an old friend today by chance
I almost missed him at the first glance
But after doing a double take I saw him
It had been so long, made my head swim
We talked and talked for hours it seems Words flowing like mountain streams
It was like yesterday once more for us
Back in time riding that old yellow bus
And for just a while I was home again
Just then it came, a summer heat rain
The smell of my youth filled up my senses
Gone were all of life’s pain and pretenses
It was just me and the young lad I knew
Before all of the curves that life had threw
Oh how good it was to reminisce together
I thought he was probably gone forever
Now I have hope he’ll be back for good
It was me, my old friend from the hood

'And for just a while I was home again

such complex and tumultuous, feelings
distilled so accessible and sincere
really well written
and rhyme helped insure that story telling feel to the read..
thanks for sharing, subtly eloquent
and very stylish
