Fond Memories Made Fonder! Poem by Tom MuyungaMukasa

It is a dividend of living,
it makes conversation warmer,
for shared experiences,
increase our bonds,
yesterday,
I passed by this place,
then,
it was a staging venue,
of a street fair and marketplace,
today,
I ask myself,
where was yesterday's noise,
it is so pristine,
like a pressed robe,
I recall such events,
back in Africa,
The other day,
on Mariposa Street,
I met a man who,
on account of my accent,
as well as diction,
asked me which part,
of Africa I was from,
I told him,
he too,
told me about,
several memorable journeys,
to that continent,
the first to Tunisia,
then to Egypt,
Cape Town,
Victoria Falls,
Queen Elizabeth National Park,
The Murchison Falls,
Lake Victoria,
I,
had been to some,
this gentleman,
in his narration,
revealed salient points,
we both exchanged fond experiences,
fond memories were made fonder,
the repetition of these experiences
and their recounting,
revealed a common desire for happiness,
as well as the ability,
for two or more people,
to be connected by experiences.
