Reunion

Met a nice pair on an Ireland tour;
They were a pleasure to know.
With 3,000 miles in between our two homes,
The friendship could not really grow.

Yet here we are now on a visit out west;
Six years have flown by since we met.
My husband suggested we give them a call -
Who knew what response we would get?

The answer is one of delight and surprise
And so we met at a museum.
The years in between seemed to melt like a dream
And we were so happy to see 'em.

We caught up and schmoozed and went out for a meal.
We toasted our meeting with wine;
For coming together, as strange as it seems,
Is part of some lofty design.

We said our goodbyes with a powerful hug,
A heartfelt expression of Zen.
It was a reunion both wistful and sweet,
For we might never see them again.
