While I lay there reflecting on life I found myself
smiling and then that smile turned into
a burst of laughter, joy bubbled and
oozed from every hair follicle on my body. I laughed because of the memories
that flooded my bedroom. Street parties , beach runs and encounters with the infamous Great White, movies/games disagreements and resolutions .
The last ten months has taught me so much about myself and
how I should treat and choose the relationships I become involved with,
sometimes in order to be nice one has to know when to draw the line and let go
in order to give the “best of you” to those who truly deserve it, it is also
important to live in the moment enjoying the bliss that comes with sharing
space and time with others taking with you forever the lessons fellowship
teaches.
I met you in a room
and I stood in the shadows and watched
Each face told a story ….
I was hesitant because you were different
But each voice sang a song and my ears wanted to listen
Like roses in a
garden we bloomed …
Each petal opening up to the kiss of the sun and gentle caress
of rain drops
We danced to rhythms
not always from our land
Laughed over dinners cooked by our very own hands
Travelled to countries with dinner plates as passports
Discussed topics of importance -stirred controversy
or sat in silence While the characters spoke
Our signature drink became the Great White of the West
It became habitual to seek Wi-Fi at any possible place of
rest
And with every week another link was added,
Strengthened through tears and laughter and sometimes anger
So… As we meet in the
room, I stand in the shadows and watch
Each expression so familiar,
I can close my eyes and guess the responses that will be
given
Anticipate and perfectly time the bursts of laughter
This time… I’m not hesitant though we are still different
I join in the dance, revelling in your beauty,
savouring the sweet nectar from the scared goblet of fellowship
Happy that we’ve had the chance to meet.
Dedicated to Team SLU
