TWENTY FRIENDS

 

nudity was just a sport 

no big deal without a cloth 

nature was all that was with us 

we were never at loss 

the rain gave the ground a petrichor

it’s aroma gave our brain a scintillating overture 

our feet stamps in ecstasy 

our mind’s bother not about fallacies 

we merry on in the pouring rain 

our feet soiled and laced with stain

the ball bouncing while slicing through water 

unending joy of playing ball with a brother 

the fun needs not stop cause it won’t last forever 

we savor each moment like we were lovers 

little did we know there is time and season

life gives us a million reason 

then one day, we all left, not knowing it was our last game together

life has its way of separating us forever 

little by little, life happened and some left 

growth and death came, we bled 

twenty friends cannot play for twenty years 

as we grew, we had lots of fears 

time they say heals all wounds 

but scars remain, we were prund
