Song Of The Last Meeting Poem by George Krokos

‘Twas just around the corner
in the other street
I went there to see someone
and them warmly greet.
But after I arrived there
no one could be seen
my hopes were nearly shattered
as they were so keen.

I looked around and waited
for a little while
my expectations increased
and caused me to smile;
when in the road up ahead
I could surely see
a person coming my way
who seemed full of glee.

As they got closer to where
I was standing still
we recognised each other
which gave me a thrill.
How fortunate it was there
when we both did meet
it being such a long time
since we last did greet.

When looking at each other
we could really see
both of us were quite happy
and together be.
We hugged and mused on the road
where we both then stood
and laughed and talked of those things
we each thought was good.

We also remembered times
from our memory
when people were happier
and a lot more free.
Oh how life has bound us all
in its tangled web
though we hardly realize
that it does now ebb.

With everything that has past
in our lives to date
can we all now truly say
we were never late
in doing all those things that
we each had to do
and done them in such a way
that we knew was true.

We looked at each other and
said a few more words
of what we still had to do
just like two old nerds.
The time passed quickly by and
after saying much
we decided to part ways
with a final touch.

We hugged each other once more
and firmly shook hands
with thoughts of meeting again
in some other lands.
So looking straight ahead there
both our eyes could see
the feelings shared between us
then would always be.

We both turned to go back to
where we had come from
and started walking towards
that place with a song
which we sang in our hearts then
of what used to be
a feeling of love for all
knowing we were free.
