SECOND CHANCES

Suddenly at ease, able to accept
Time spent with like-minded, no regrets
Laugh at the same things, see and hear
So much in common, shines crystal clear

Time out of step, with those once met
Felt isolated, with exchanges we'd let
conversation flow, without-being involved
Not sharing-or-adding, silent-and-cold

Through transitions, adjustment is fine
Relaxed boundaries, life's merging lines
None can guide us, when time's right
Thoughts from past, now come for light

Timing differences, released thoughts
Join in flow, not past thoughts caught
Through life's journey, changes occur
Memories-dreams, confuse and stir

Until timing, slides neatly into place
To a time when a group, led the pace.
Plotting path, and if timings right
Life is comfortable, future bright

Once out of step, aimed to learn
Cross forgotten bridges, not destruct-burn
How many times, when timing's not right
Wary to try again, real life can bite.....

Pain can divide, maturity from youth
Experience holds back, waiting proof
We must be brave, to change a future
Or trust maturity, to be your tutor.....

Nicely written. I believe in second chances. Sometimes life has other roads for us to walk. But sometimes they lead back to where we can walk once more with those of before. rose
