I talked to my best friend for two hours
like we were 15 again,
except now we talk about
health
husbands
grandchildren
parents
memories,
I know
it is still girl talk.
feeling like a girl again,
with all my aches and pains,
is fun,
almost like the bad stuff in life never happened.
She refreshes me.
I hope she feels refreshed after our
two hour conversation.
so far from each other
yet so near in spirit,
we laugh,
we cry,
we giggle,
we say goodbye,
and
we talk again about something else.
then,
we have to force ourselves to leave
each thinking of the other
and how she should get her rest.
i love my friend;
how grateful
i am for my sister in the spirit.
how can we be so much alike,
when we spent so many years apart?

| Lisa-Jo Baker has inspired a whole posse of bloggers to write every Friday on a prompt of her choosing. Today, the prompt was After. It's a sort of stream of consciousness writing style. You set a timer for 5 minutes and write without worrying about perfection. You write what is in your heart. It's a challenge and a joy. If you want to read more 5 minute Friday posts, click on "the gypsy mama button. And you just might be inspired to write a blog post of your own, or write for 5 minutes in your journal. It's lots of fun. |
