A journey to the south

I wrote this poem some days before my graduation and what inspired me however, was the pain of separation that was staring me right in the face. The pain of losing the friends that had in one way or the other impacted my life positively all through my life in school;

         A JOURNEY TO THE SOUTH
     There are times unmeasured

     Times that brought smiles and grimace

      We cruised to the north

      Holding our hands for fear of the south

 Uncertain about our next steps

  Yet believing we will find our way

 Whispering became our form of communication

 For no word should be heard by Distance

Yet Distance took that step

 The one that changed our course

He stole me to the west

 Opposed to my moving south

assessing the journey so far

 Brings real heartache

 One that wouldn't die away no matter how hard i try

 Dear friend, move to the south

Certain about it because we've had experience

however brief our encounter was

Take that journey to the south.
