Taking It Back

A Thank You

Ride in the car as 4:00 a.m. rolls by,
feel the thoughts said and unsaid flood
back from the fog of distilled grape,
understand that the world has been a cold dead place only in perspective,
drink in the rehydration of a real conversation and
appreciate the rarity of two souls converging in one space,

remember the difficulty, the prying, the pulling that was,

and see the ease, the simplicity, the natural comfort and humor
of two simple friends
being simple in a complex space,
no complications, just soft conversation, humorous secrets and true laughter.
