My heart beats faster as ever,
as today I gonna feel same shiver;
which I felt when I entered the world,
with my attitude and stood with herd.
My eyes searching a friendly face,
or may be a one with smiling trace.
A kind gesture today was important,
as this will set my ship with
merchant.
Slowly years passed and we were
together,
now breathing without them was tougher.
Each day our friendships saw many
chapters,
with each semester a friendship
lesson was to cater.
After years I gonna face the faces,
which were once my own traces.
Formal informal how to greet them,
or should I wait for their
recognition
Reunions are surely giving me jitters,
today again heart says flow with
river.
Trust your rein of friendship strings,
speak your heart out without a blink.
speak your heart out without a blink.

Wow! Relationship as an ocean, a book, a college! I think that the more time has passed, the less we're sure if memory is something we made or something "objectively" true. Will we see friendly faces or strangers?
ReplyDeleteYes Susan , meeting a person after long years is similar to meeting a stranger, hoping my reunions see more friendship.
DeleteWell described.
ReplyDeleteThank yo Rosemary.
DeleteSo glad you posted on dVerse today! Oh yes....reunions do cause the jitters! :)

I'm somewhat sure I'll be told many new stuff proper here!

Sometimes friendship blossom in the reunions... but also latent fights alas... maybe it brings us back to the day when we last saw each other.
ReplyDeleteHaha, also remembering the fights; I didn't focus on that, hoping only friendship blossoms.
DeleteIt occurred to me that reunions give me jitters as well. Nice description of the concern for a coming reunion.
ReplyDeleteSurely reunions gives us mixed feelings.
DeleteMixed feelings and mixed blessings. Go without expectations; just anticipations. That will help.
DeleteYes Sarah, your advice is right go without expectations.
DeleteGreat thoughts, MeenalSonal.. Well said!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sreedhar Sir :)
DeleteI could very well relate with it. Lovely poem, Sonal. :)
ReplyDeleteYes Ravish, reunions feels same to all :)
DeleteSome reunions cause only excitement, others cause jitters. You've described this well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for appreciating :)
Deletefriendship is really beautiful relation and and such reunion is really something I relate so much!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice written Meenal! Whenever I think about a reunion and meeting my school and school friends, It fills me with excitement.
ReplyDeletefriendship from school and college is such that no one can actually match. we do take them for granted sometimes, but then some are just like family. tolerating us for years. hahaha...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lines. Childhood friends are always special . I am still in touch with all my friends from school. Unfortunately, I could attend any reunion. But thanks to zoom and WhatsApp that we are able to see each other virtually.
ReplyDeleteYes friendship is most beautiful realtionship and meeting your friends after long years give an undescribable feeling. Loved the way you had expressed this emotions in this poem.
ReplyDeleteThis poem reminded me of my college reunion few months ago. The anxiety to meet old friends and curiosity of how it will go has been captured very nicely.
ReplyDeleteWow , this poem on friendship is still so relevant specially when we are not able to meet our friends physcially and missing those special moments which life calls as Happiness . - JHILMIL BHANSALI
ReplyDeleteI have been jittery about reunions but after the first 20 seconds, life is back on track and we are all laughing and joking around just like old times. Great poem! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteHonestly, I've stayed in touch with my friends throughout so reunions are not so jittery but you have described the feelings that some people face, very well!
ReplyDeleteNoor
Reunions are great , meeting friends and remembering those beautiful time spent together is just amazing. You have expressed it beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI am sure we all feel the same... reunion with old school mates/ college mates makes us feel nervous and fill us with doubts initially, but after the first few minutes it's like we were never away!
ReplyDeletereunioning with Friends and family are the best part of ones life, this year has made us leanrt this lesson.
ReplyDeleteReunions do give us mixed feelings. Making nostalgic, reminding of good and not so good days.
ReplyDeleteReunions are always unpredictable, an old flame or someone whom you couldn't stand but admired all come face to face at one common ground. Many old connections get rekindled and a few we loose, but reunions are always great.
ReplyDeleteI cant help but get nostalgic.. I am taken back to my college days and feel the emptiness that has been created with the absence of those friends and those priceless moments. wish we had happy endings like in films and reunions too.
ReplyDeleteinteresting wordplay. especially with the faces and traces - that's quite brilliant an imagery and so much emotion expressed.
ReplyDeletereunions can be bitter sweet but nice experiences to revisit our childhood.
Reunions are best time to rejuvenate and relive your youth and childhood.I found all my school friends after 35 years and we had a reunion at my house.My happiest days were back again.
ReplyDeleteYes reunions can give jitters! Though because of social media, one has been more in touch than previous times. So some level of relationships have been maintained.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely expressed, Reunions can be tricky I guess. While some friendships survive time and years and it may be the same as the day when you left off. And others could be like complete strangers
ReplyDeleteReunion always makes me nostalgic . Meeting old friends and cherish the old memories is always special.
ReplyDeleteThe words have magic and you have played with those beautifully. Absolutely loved reading this, so many emotions in these few lines :)
