I think we don't only enjoy (or dread) having their company again, but we also rediscover pieces of ourselves... While at the same time, seeing the past with better lived eyes. It sounds almost overwhelming, doesn't it? But when we find that these places and people speak to our soul, then there isn't a better experience. ♥Magaly Guerrerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18295455026184103230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-456333369930820298.post-33521833765734310882015-05-31T12:10:02.506-04:002015-05-31T12:10:02.506-04:00This poem leads the reader in a sort of trance/dan...This poem leads the reader in a sort of trance/dance, which is very soothing....I love the repeated lines and am trying to figure out what form it is, or if this is just how it evolved.
