Before The Next Day's Light
They gather, two by two, some alone, others by the swarm.
The assembly is building as the parts come to form.
The plan was loose, but the purpose to them quite clear.
Celebration at completion cracking open cheap beer.
Insecurities and inhibitions drift away; the term has ended.
The planners and anxieties, the learning and stresses are suspended.
What could have been has passed; what should have been is done.
Just remains this time of indulgent fun.
Revelry is the order; the last doubts melt tonight.
Police be dammed; it's their time to cast happy light.
What is next, lonely tomorrows or summer adventures . . . Who is to say?
For this moment, one last together, they will through night play.Discussion about this post
