A Memory of 4 and 6
To you my childhood friend
Though memories fill our dreams
Though we may never again meet
The secret of our time together be forgot
An old School atop a hill a bamboo structure that no longer still
Atop that hill where we played
I remember Day's spent eating rainbow cane
Of coconut's being stolen from neighbors plots
Of hide and go seek in the blinding Night
There were two then there were four
Brothers to the very core
Though shades of colors would deny it so
It was in the eyes and on the lips
The mirth that bubbled forth indicative so
Barefoot though we all by choice
Shoes was naught but a cumbersome trial
kept under arms till over the hill we crested far
The gully below should we falter gave pause and shouted danger
Impending doom
It was best to traverse these beautiful green fields
On hands and knees till upright we could walk
No shoes could grip the red mud
The cracking soil
The rocks that loosely made the walking trail that was your home
For a time we played never having known
Yet Years later again we found our path had crossed so many times
Could it be my childhood friend
Had we not shared such intimate details
Of childhood lost now remembered
Time would have made our recall no more
And our memories not quite so
sure at all
