Flash

Over a cup of tea, on a day trudging along

with a few muddled thoughts and vestiges of a song,

I rush rush rush, just about getting by,

when out of nowhere in my minds eye,

flashes the face of a friend long lost.

A forgotten name, thoughts not crossed

for many many years. Hidden, gathering dust

like the crevices of a marble bust

sitting in a library of memories, 

full of yellowing leaves of bookish trees.

The face is warm like my cup'o'tea

the smile roguish, winking at me

The day of rush, power charged

Stops, smiles, and warms the heart.
