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.....

About this poem:
Quite often in life, the timing isn't....'just right.'
Second Chances.......are so important......sometimes comes with risk...
