Confronting the future through windows of the past

Old friends
console us
always holding for us
a better picture of who we are
like a window into our hearts
in case we forget

Friends come home again
reminding us
with their memories
of what we meant to them
like a window into your home
when you return to it from a long time away

New friends float into our lives
we discover them
only to realize
we already know them
for they bump into who
and what we already are


Sitting here at the cafe
remembering all my friends
who fill my heart
wondering how I move on from here
confronting the future
through windows of the past





Special thanks to my friend Kunal - for the beautiful photo of the same name - his came first and was the inspiration behind this piece!
