High School Reunion (Namei) Poem by Jesus Diaz Llorico

'Reunions are like going back
to your original self
the good old days
reminiscing your past
the times you spent in school
its cold and concrete walls
the large windows and wooden floors
where your everyday stay
is a struggle, a merriment
or just plain idleness
but it is where you flourished
it is where soft, warm
and lovely friendships
are forever joined...
it is where first love
puppy or passionate love
are equally created...
and the bridge in-between
the times in school and today
the gap in years, the distance
and the lack of communication
that's what reunion is all about
it's like feeling the sunrise
while watching the sunset
and celebrating as one...
it is a drawn measure
where success and popularity
of each member of the class
is different in many ways
and no matter what it takes
it's still love and friendship
that connects this link
and brings forth these reunions.'
